Okay, I appreciate that clarification.
I want to ask Mr. Davidson a question.
I very much appreciated your presentation. As you know, I've been interested in this area for a long time, especially in my past role on the industry committee. I love that you tell stories. I think that is exactly what researchers need to do, especially to relate to parliamentarians and Canadians in terms of the kind of good research we're doing in this country.
I want to ask a question with respect to your first recommendation. I have a family member who is a diabetes researcher and who bends my ear regularly on the issues you presented. His argument over the past number of years is that past governments and our government have invested significantly in infrastructure through CFI, through the knowledge infrastructure program. They've invested in the Canada research chairs and the president of the Canada research chairs program in the past.
If we are to maintain or increase our standing in the world community on research, the focus in the next budget needs to be on the human resource side, specifically on the granting council side. This is certainly his argument, that we've built a tremendous amount of capacity, but that going forward, if there are additional resources the focus should be less on infrastructure and more on the human resource side through the granting councils. This is exactly what you've recommended.
I want you to expand on that for this committee.
