That's a good point. Thank you very much.
Ms. Bittman, I notice that in your filling out of the questions for the finance committee's work, you have talked about the National Research Council and a shift in the focus of investment at the NRC. I'm wondering if you could talk a bit about that.
I'm always concerned about having balance in our research. I think it's important to work with the private sector and to foster innovation, but I also think it's very important to invest in basic research. It's just part of good public policy. Can you comment on that, please?
