For our part, we work with granting agencies, including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, which funds research. We have been pleased to see that the council has implemented some very interesting programs. However, we have realized that from the time you submit a project to the time you receive a response, three months, six months or even more than a year may go by. The programs have been very popular, which is good news. It indicates that companies are innovating. However, I'm not sure the council has the capacity to absorb all of this demand. If the dairy industry is investing money in research, we can't wait years to go forward. It has to be done in a timely manner. This aspect is important to us.
