Thank you very much.
Mr. Johnston, we've heard from a lot of people about investing in research, and I congratulate you on your brief. I think it's well put together.
We've heard from a lot of different organizations—universities, researchers, and granting councils themselves—about the work we've been able to do in Canada in the last number of years, in fact reversing the brain drain and bringing researchers back. That's largely through, as you indicate, investing in university research. I guess what you're talking about is making sure we take advantage of that and take the next step in terms of going into commercialization and actually really giving a further boost to the economy through the investments and research.
In one of your recommendations, you state:
Clarify the mandates of government research institutions to ensure their relevance...re-invest in those that are essential to meet the government’s regulatory responsibilities, that provide the government with the capacity to respond to global or national emergencies....
Can you be specific at all? Are we talking about granting councils, like NSERC, SSHRC, CFI, CIHR? Who do you think is significantly worthy of this?
