In many cases it would be individual universities that house the researchers who are doing some of this work. That is, many universities have those kinds of policies. Most of those policies are designed to ultimately facilitate some form of commercialization. Usually there are mechanisms for that property to be transferred or licensed out and used.
Obviously, the government is very concerned about making sure that the benefits of this technology support Canadians. At the same time, I think there's interest in making sure that the research is advanced and not hampered by those kinds of policies.
