Let's say we wanted to position Canada as the best place in the world to research, develop, and commercialize cleantech opportunities. In 2005 $30 billion was invested globally in cleantech; in 2006 it was $60 billion, and last year it was $150 billion. Are you saying that federally your organization cannot take that kind of focused approach and try to create those conditions within Canada on a national basis? You mentioned environmental sciences, but are you saying that you rely almost exclusively on what is coming up from the institutions to determine investment?
