Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses.
Bill, you raised something that's well known. For example, the University of Waterloo and MIT. They were going to be the champion. This is when they made that decision. Then it would seem the private sector said they were with you, and this is what they could do.
I'm sure it was much more complicated than that. Who made that decision, and how did that decision get made by an educational institution? Was that strictly on their own? They made that decision to say this is how they're going to bring in partners, this is how they're going to do the research, and this is how they're going to marry together....
I'll talk a little bit, Allan, about your comments on industry and universities.
