There are many success stories. I'll talk specifically about where we see our role, because innovation has many players, the most important being the business sector itself. We're focusing on creating partnerships, linking the talent that we have in colleges and universities with the needs of the private sector. From our perspective, significant progress has occurred in increasing the reach to small and medium-sized enterprises, which form a large portion of Canadian industry. We've always had strong interactions with the large industries, but small and medium-sized firms is where we need to put more effort, and that has been a focus.
