I think there are reasons that the private sector doesn't get involved in commercialization and research in Canada. It's a relatively small market, and even if it has the same regulatory conditions as the U.S., if you have to pay to meet those regulatory conditions here in Canada, you've met the conditions for a small market compared to the U.S.
That's an expense that makes it hard for us to compete just on a private basis, and agricultural research has this very problem in trying to benefit all these farmers who can't afford to make the actual investment themselves. I've talked about the returns for research in front of farm groups, and they're willing to pay a check-off. They're willing to pay for this now. I've heard that testimony in this committee, testimony that agricultural producers are willing to pay for some form of agricultural research as long as it's done well.
I think what Rickey said about the universities generating a lot of research and then having a problem commercializing it afterward is true, and I think we have to be careful when we look at returns at over 40 to 1 and then never do anything with the A-base stuff that we've done, so there's a commercialization challenge.
