Thank you very much.
The discussion this morning on science, research, and development and their importance to the jobs of tomorrow, I thought was important. For some reason, despite quite a significant level of government investment in science in Canada, we're not good at commercialization yet.
Our commercialization rates pale in comparison to those of many of our competitors and trading partners. Why is that and what public policy prescriptives should we be implementing to address it?
For instance, everyone is talking now about Israel and some of what they're doing. If you look at our historic lack of commercialization, combined with the current challenges in the VC industry, I think we have to take action. I'd be very interested in your insights on how to do the research development science and on how we're going to create the green technology jobs of tomorrow.
I think Mr. Monk spoke to this. Mr. Tak spoke to it. Some of the technology that can be developed and commercialized is even in the mining industry. I'll keep it fairly broad in terms of who responds.
