Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I wish we had more time with you today, because I think we could talk to you for hours and hours. The whole idea of this S and T strategy is to get recommendations from witnesses and experts in the field, so when you're answering my questions, I was wondering if you could really focus on what specifically you're recommending to us as the government.
As Mr. Johnston was saying, we've continually heard that Canada is not so good at commercialization. First, what are you doing to get industry into universities and what more could the government do to get industry into universities?
Second, in a comment about strategic procurement, Mr. Dale talked about the Information Technology Association of Canada. When we hear about procurement, quite often we're thinking about the government buying planes, trains, or automobiles, but it seems that there's a great opportunity for buying services, especially in technology.
Could you comment on those two questions?
