I would say there are three key benefits that come back to Canadians. The first is in terms of the people who are educated and who become your adaptable, flexible workforce. We have and will show in the momentum report a number of statistics about what it means to have more university-educated graduates who have been trained or educated in a research-enriched environment and what that gives you in terms of your workforce and your contributions to society across all sectors when they come through.
The second is in terms of the knowledge generated for the country. We represent 0.5% of the global population. We're punching above our weight in that we generate over 4.5% of the global knowledge. What does that mean in terms of helping and in terms of breakthroughs across the country? We'll demonstrate a number of those key breakthroughs in cutting-edge areas as well as contributions across what I'd call the strategic reserve. A response to your earlier question about the balance between strategic priorities and strategic reserve is that after 9/11, we suddenly had a very big need for people who understood world religions, who understood and could speak a number of different languages that were key to resolving issues around terrorism. We didn't know the day before 9/11 that we would need them. But if we hadn't maintained that strategic reserve, we wouldn't have been able to call on them the day after.
The third type of contribution we make is in terms of the application of that knowledge generated through the people who embody it. That's in terms of how universities and research fuel innovation. I think we need a broader concept of what that is, that it's innovations in products, services, and processes, but it's also innovations in terms of behaviours and policies. So it cuts across the full scope of research. We'll be providing specific examples from institutions in the report, and I'd be happy to share some of them with you afterwards.
