Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Greetings, everyone.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us and for their testimony.
Mr. Meier, thank you for your presentation. I would like to come back to the issue of intellectual property and the innovations that are being made at colleges, universities and polytechnics. You talked about partnerships with businesses and the agricultural community. We often hear that, in the Canadian economy, there is a problem with properly protecting patents, intellectual property and innovations that are made in colleges and universities and that are transferred to businesses to increase their productivity. Can you tell us more about that from your perspective?
