The University of Western Ontario, in the department of biology, has a 50-year history of interacting with Agriculture Canada's station in London, Ontario, which is a huge research station. Over the last several years we've decreased the barriers and allowed research scientists at Ag Canada to be part of the department. So we have a continuous flow of individuals and research expertise between the federal department and our department. Agriculture Canada has been a major contributor to the Biotron itself.
