Thank you for your question.
Mr. Chairman, that's a very important question. The core areas of priority that we selected from our in-depth analysis obviously include the environment. It also includes sustainable energy. On the clean technologies, NRC is very much involved with fuel cells and hydrogen. As you know, we have an institute in Vancouver, and we just announced, with Minister Lunn, last week an additional investment of $14 million in support of developing the hydrogen and fuel cell side.
We are also involved in trying to develop technologies to support the tar sands development. That's one thing. But another major issue is that Natural Resources Canada, NRCan, very much has the mandate of developing R and D in support of energy, and we are partnering with them on that front.
