That leads to my second question. Since the whole research centres network changed throughout Agriculture and Agri-food Canada—in 1995 or 1996, or sometime around then—the emphasis seems to be on up-line value-added research and not on primary production research.
You people in this case have taken over the centre, but how much valuable time is spent by researchers and others involved in administration out looking for money for projects like the one that ended, or for private partners to do, really, what I believe government should be doing, federally and provincially? What I hear from researchers is that they're spending half their time looking for money rather than doing research, whereas other countries are paying for research.
