That's a very good point, and thank you for raising that.
Just with regard to recommendation number 2 about basic research, a lot of the research funding that we provide to a wide variety of different domains comes through the tri-council agencies. Specifically, I would imagine this area would fall under the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council, NSERC.
Under your recommendation number 2.1, when you talk about providing basic research funding, could you perhaps talk a little bit about the current funding levels that are provided through NSERC and what additional funding would be necessary, specifically addressing particular gaps that you feel aren't being addressed?
