I just wanted to correct Dr. Menon. I believe you might know Dr. Goodyear, who is our Minister of State for Science and Technology. As a government, we did put that ministry forward.
My colleague across the way talked about low-cost initiatives. Our government has been working to lower corporate tax rates and to streamline regulations so that the business environment is better in Canada. Dr. Menon said that unfortunately we don't have some of these world corporations. He mentioned Siemens and some other companies that unfortunately we don't have, but that's a reality. If we want to partner with industry, the question I think is how we encourage that. I think Dr. Weaver mentioned that in other countries at the university level they allow their researchers to work in industry part-time. They go back and forth, and they get that leading-edge experience.
I was just wondering, because I'm looking for practical suggestions for the government, Dr. Weaver, do you have an idea for how the federal government might be able to encourage that type of interaction?
