I have two quick comments.
First, I agree about the communication. We have to do more of it. That is precisely one of the reasons that led us, three years ago, to publish our document called Momentum in English and En plein essor in French. A new version of the document is going to come out in October. We will not be sending that hundred-page document to every home in the country. But we will think of other ways, our website, for example, to communicate research results and to explain why Canadians should be interested.
Second, we now have had two opportunities to put together discussion groups in five or six places across the country and we found it very interesting. I told myself that the people we talked to would probably neither appreciate nor understand the value of research. I was very surprised to see the extent to which people who had never set foot on a university campus, had never read research results, could explain the extent to which university research was important for them, and not just in terms of its financial value. Through the moderator, we told them that it was only important if there was an economic benefit. They said no, what was important was understanding their culture and their history, promoting their language and making sure that everything was well with their families. They said that it was very important that university researchers should help them to do all that.
I was very encouraged by that. I will not say that our work is done, but, for us, it is a sign that Canadians understand the importance of these contributions.
