That's good. I wanted to know the impact of that government policy.
Mr. Davidson, you asked for sustainable and predictable funding for the Tri-Council agencies. I'm wondering whether we should also have sustainable and predictable mandates and policies. I remember when the research tools and instrumentation fund was cut and then more or less brought back. That wasn't a result of a cut in funding so much as of the government's saying “we'll spend new money in this area, and you can't cut these other areas” and of NSERC's deciding that the only thing left to cut was the research tools and instrumentation program, which caused an enormous uproar in the research community, because it's such an important program.
Would you agree that we should perhaps have some predictable mandates and policies as well as funding levels?
