I am going to keep my questioning short, Chair. I wanted to have a discussion with Mr. Boon.
We've had a lot of discussion about the science clusters with different witnesses. They seem to be a good idea, because they're bringing together industry experts along with government and scientists. When I was listening to your comments, though, I had a general sense that you were on the outside looking in. I didn't get a sense that you felt you were a contributor to that process, from the comments you were making.
Could you comment on that in terms of where your influence is in these science clusters? I know the CCA receives $6 million from the federal government to manage a science cluster; I know they launched certain initiatives. I would imagine, though, that the CCA checks with its members concerning where research should be conducted, but I wanted to ask this. It was nothing specific that you said; it was more in the tone.
