Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming in.
Recently there was a report that came out, which you may or may not have had the opportunity to read, called “Innovation Canada: A Call to Action”, otherwise known as the Jenkins report. It talks about innovation and research in Canada, and one of the things they talk about is the CICP program, kind of echoing some of the things you talked about, where I think you both had very positive things to say about CICP. It's an effective way to improve commercialization and it helps get Canadian SMEs to the next level.
I guess you concur with the general statement in the report--and maybe you could affirm that--that you'd like to see the CICP continued and perhaps expanded. Is that correct?
