Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to go back to Mr. Hinton and maybe continue some of the questions that Mr. Fast asked. In response to the question about the investment that we provide to universities for research, you had indicated in one of your responses that there were no strings attached to encourage innovation.
Can you make a recommendation about what could do at the federal level that would encourage innovation and patent protection? I know that you mentioned that a number of different provinces already have a number of bodies that are starting to work on this, but what can we do federally to help support this?
