Yes. During the Growing Forward consultations, the message was clear that science and innovation are components of the long-term success of the industry. We have heard that comment pretty much coast to coast. We are intent on putting more emphasis on science and innovation under Growing Forward, more resources. Growing Forward is a federal-provincial negotiation. We have presented our thoughts and meditations to the provinces and we're in the process of discussing what instruments will be rolled out come next year, when Growing Forward is implemented.
We have made significant investments in the past in science and innovation. There's a sense—and I'm not referring only to the agricultural sector in Canada, but across disciplines and sectors in Canada—that Canada is performing well in investing in knowledge discovery. Perhaps Canada is not performing quite as well in transforming that knowledge into new products for new markets.
We are in the process of developing, in consultation with the sector, a new suite of instruments to transform that knowledge into products and services that will enhance sector competitiveness. We haven't finished our discussions with the provinces, so we will have to await further discussions in the coming weeks and months. I think the emphasis will be more on transforming the knowledge into products and services, rather than on more investments in knowledge discovery.
