Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would also like to welcome all the witnesses who came here this afternoon.
Many of you mentioned the difficulties or barriers, whether they're local or interprovincial, in implementing any commercialization. If I can ask you something a little bit in reverse, when you decide to do the research on a certain topic, are there communication lines open? How do you check whether there is something like this already, or maybe there's somebody else working on the same topic? Basically, what I'm asking is, are there cases where sometimes we're trying to reinvent the wheel?
