Thank you so much.
Mr. Arthur, I am so interested in this idea of research and development.
I know that Canada, as one of the OECD countries that gets measured, is number one in tertiary education. We have a lot of post-secondary-educated people—those who are educated past high school—in this country, but we are ranked number 26 out of 37 in business expenditures on R and D, and number 30 out of 36 in public funding investment in post-secondary. I think about some of the businesses in my riding, and the research and development done by private companies around robotics and quantum computing—all Canadian brain trust and Canadian IP. However, what I'm hearing over and over again is that Canada has an immature infrastructure to scale innovation.
I'm interested to hear how we can fix that.
