Let me start with some of the whole knowledge transfer aspects of the science and technology branch.
I mentioned that in 2012 we merged the PFRA, or the AESB, with the research branch. We had two branches where, in AESB, we had a specific element of what was called “knowledge transfer individuals” who actually went out and did sort of individual knowledge transfer activity. By bringing these together, we have been able to give integrated advice about some of the technologies we develop within our organization.
Now, within the science and technology branch, as we look at new projects, we're also looking at the fact that when you get to the development stage, you need a knowledge transfer element in that, so that there is a mechanism by which you know that this needs to either transfer to the provinces, to the private sector: how you are going to do that?
So within our own science and technology branch continuum, we now have a mechanism in place within the organization that says that doing science, finding research results, and then shelving them is not what we want. It needs to take us through, totally, towards the other side.
