Mr. Chair, obviously it's the challenge today in advancing knowledge about society and developing talent, and in fact we do partner between the university and the campus. One of the most exciting aspects of research we've seen in recent years is the way in which campuses are joining with groups outside the campus, in terms of defining research interest and identifying how we can move some of our research findings into everyday life. I think those sorts of partnerships are really essential.
In fact it's not simply within Canada now. Just before coming here this morning, I had a meeting with a series of presidents from Dutch universities. Increasingly now, the kind of challenges we're all facing around the world are being addressed through what we're thinking about as global research networks. So we're trying to connect the campus and the community within Canada and internationally as best we can, to try to come to grips with some of the very difficult challenges we're facing that touch all sectors in our society.
