I am very glad that Montreal will be the host city for this important NATO centre. May our leadership of this very important mission Canada has taken on meet with every success. Great work.
Now, I'm going to turn to you, Mr. Turcot, to discuss division 25 of the bill. Much has been said about Canada lagging behind when it comes to business productivity and innovation. The budget contains additional funding for the National Research Council of Canada. Can you give us concrete examples of how this funding will stimulate business innovation and productivity, especially among small and medium-sized businesses? How will the research council be able to help them?
