As a final question, it looks as though between 2010 and 2016 Canadian public investment in research and development trended downward. Between 2010 and 2016, I think Canadian public spending was on average 1%, which is lower than the 1.2% recorded between 2003 and 2009. What explains this decrease? Are there going to be steps taken to reverse that trend?
