At the NRC, for example, our largest institute works on aerospace and aeronautics. It's quite interesting. We provide 50% of their funding from our A-base, but they collect 50% and are covering their expenses through collaboration with industry. In my view, this is a good reflection of the connection that our R and D programs in aerospace and aeronautics have with industry needs. Industry is willing to pay to do collaborative research with us. That's a nice example. The aerospace sector is intensive in Canada.
