Can I add something? Think about how it was before this genome stuff. We all knew about one or two genes to study and we all studied them. It's as if you're an astronomer and you can see two stars, you study them. But what genomics did was it just went boom, there they all are. We're still studying the two as I showed you before, because we love them. What genomics has enabled us to do is to go into the unknown.
Canada is unique. I travel the world. I spend a lot of my time travelling, obviously. I'm in Mexico listening to a talk on cattle from a Brazilian scientist. He has 20 slides, of which five are from Canada. He says these are Canadian data funded by Genome Canada because this organization, unlike other ways of handing out funds, emboldens scientists to go into the unknown. When you're first, you obviously are in the lead. I didn't even realize how dominant this technology is in cattle breeding. Instead of taking seven years to find out if the meat is okay, you do the genetic tests and it happens faster and cheaper. We're in the lead according to Brazil. I was impressed. The funding of this kind of science is not just genomics and it sounds different, it's culturally different. It enables us to work in areas where no one else on the planet is working. I think that's why it's so important.
