Yes. I don't disagree with anything the captain said. I would point out that the SR and ED and IRAP programs--that money is tied to research and development. SR and ED obviously is directly tied to R and D efforts. Similarly, the grant you receive from IRAP is for R and D. Yet our companies frequently have very strong technology and are missing in the sales and marketing expertise—the commercialization expertise—to bring that technology successfully to market.
I don't want a subsidy, no, but I would point out that the way in which we reward innovation puts undue emphasis on just the research and development portion of innovation and not the commercialization portion of it. That's one gap that the CICP program is effectively filling. We probably have much more of a gap than they can possibly fill here. Yes, I would invite you to all consider other options than just funding straight core engineering or research and development, because it leads to companies with unequal balance--far too much technical expertise and not enough in sales and marketing.
