Thank you very much.
Dr. Naimark, I hesitate to question your recommendations since you're such a distinguished Canadian, but I have to follow up on this recommendation for western economic diversification, because when we're funding research, if we look at the whole spectrum of research from idea to implementation, which you know very well, we're funding certainly on the human resource side through the granting councils and the Canada research chairs. Also, we fund infrastructure through CFI and the knowledge infrastructure program.
On commercialization, I'll just take the University of Alberta as an example. The University of Alberta asked for federal and provincial funding for TEC Edmonton, which is located at the downtown facility.
Then we have the SR and ED tax credit and programs like IRAP, which received increased funding.
But it seems that this is just sort of another thing we're going to fund. My concern, I guess, is that we're diluting it too much and funding in too many places, and we'll lose our effectiveness. It's just an honest, genuine concern. I have great respect for WD, but since the University of Alberta itself asked for funding of that commercialization institute, it just seems to make more sense to fund something like that rather than funding through WD, or to fund Genome Prairie directly rather than funding WD.
