Canada has been criticized too much, in my opinion. We do brilliant research. We punch above our weight when it comes to research, but it stays in academia. We need anything we can do to facilitate translation in terms of creating the right clinical infrastructure networks. That is something, and it's not a small topic because it includes information systems and e-health records in the case of health. A lot of different things need to get done. The federal government can certainly do that.
