It was a study of, as I indicated, 100,000 U.S. patents filed by the private sector in the United States to determine where the necessary knowledge comes from that sustains those patents. Some 73% of it came from university-related research, the public sector, of which a lot of that research--I am saying a significant portion--was done in Canadian universities. It is knowledge that is published in the scientific literature and that ultimately was made use of in those patent applications.
