That's a very good question. In my experience of over 30 years of being a professor and an entrepreneur and of running a biotechnology company, starting up a fuel biotechnology company, I have found that the NRC's IRAP is the most innovative machine to fund research in Canada. It's not just the money; they also have the people in it.
In my view—I'll just be very brief—this definitely can push innovation in Canada much more rapidly than this new program that is being created overnight, into which are parachuted so many people to administer it who don't know what to do, and in which lots of money is wasted.
