Most of them are our company with the universities. Some are projects that will work with, for instance, NRC and some of the projects in other organizations.
In fairness to the government, we take a portion of the R and D investment the government makes with us and we reinvest it in the universities. So as part of the commitment we make--and as a matter of fact, for my confrères here it is the same situation when they sign a contract with the government, and it is a contract and has all the commitments--we do that. In addition to that, the university investments for us are critical. They are critical, because we find a lot of technology.
To give you an example, right here at the University of Ottawa we invested $300,000 a couple of years ago. There are a couple of professors and students working on embedding particles at very high speed in metal to see if this could help in terms of the heat in the engine. What we do at Ryerson, where we have an actual institute, is actually go through some of the technologies related to combustion and the requirements of combustion. A lot of the work being done in universities now is in terms of the environment--how can we make these lighter, greener, and so on? That part of research is important.
In effect, when we work with the university, we work on commitments. We sign contracts with the university, and we have outputs, and then we monitor. Also, on an annual basis, we give out fellowships to deserving researchers to give them additional incentive. It is significant work. Our new 600 engine, which is the small engine of the future, if you will, and the very light jet market have activities in Montreal that are extremely important.
Finally, we invest through groups like CRIAQ, which we've talked about, in Montreal. We have a project going forward, hopefully with the government, on GARDM. And then there's the future major platform program, which we are working on to get Industry Canada investment to help us to go forward.
