I think you could learn from all of the models out there in terms of what is being done right and what is being done wrong or not so right.
The U.K. is set up differently in terms of their science adviser, for example, or their office of foresight, which is a huge office in the U.K. As I understand, there are 26 employees in that office.
Under the current Minister of Industry, I understand there is only one foresight officer in Canada. That has very broad implications for direction and vision for this country in terms of science, because foresight is about emerging trends and where this country will go 10 to 30 years down the road. But it seems that there is no vision beyond a four-year mandate for this country.
I'm not picking on one particular party here. I'm talking about the need for a national vision for science that transcends a four-year cycle. It's not happening.
