Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for coming today. Your presentations were fantastic, especially for those who want to learn a little more about high tech.
Mr. Engelhardt, one of the things I found interesting about your presentation was how you talked about the high tech and it went from health to biofuels to food safety. I'd like to hear a little more about that. But at the same time, going into the question we just heard Mr. Lake speak about, we've got six months for many of these great organizations, great companies in Canada that may not be around by the end of 2009. What does that do to Canada on the world stage when it comes to our high-tech industry, and will we be seeing the loss of innovation when it comes to the things we all know we need, like biofuels or better foods? How is that going to impact us on the world stage and just as Canadians?
