Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to follow up on commercialization. In the past, I've sensed that there has not been a government focus on commercialization. It's been more on the research or perhaps the innovation. The actual commercialization of a technology has not received as much government support. Of course that's the higher-risk phase; of taking something and actually marketing it. The results of any particular research or innovation may not be marketable in that form, so sometimes there is some finessing to be done to actually get it to the farm gate to benefit farmers, or not only farmers but perhaps the agrifood processing chain, for example, which also exports to other countries.
Could you inform the committee about the commercialization aspect of the AgriInnovation program? What is the main thrust behind it? Perhaps you have an example or two that would help give committee members a concrete idea of how something is commercialized and how government might support that effort through the AIP.
