Okay.
We are talking about applied industrial research and development, but Industry Canada also deals with long-term research, meaning pure research. What impact will the upcoming cuts have on long-term research, which sometimes yields results only after a number of years?
I am especially concerned about keeping expertise within departments. Sometimes, with short-term objectives or results, it is possible to let this type of expertise go because it only gives results in the long term. Pure research is not necessarily linked to the industry, but it is very useful to knowledge in general.
