Okay.
I'm sorry, we're going to have to table that question.
Witnesses, I have a couple of questions myself that I do want to put on the record. Perhaps we could ask you to come back, and if you're amenable to that we could finish off this session, because you were deprived of 40 minutes of time because of the vote.
I want to put two questions on the table.
Mr. Heller, you have a very good presentation here. You talk about the four funding sources, and you talk about the role of government. How do we ensure that government funds, whether they partner with the private sector or not, continue to fund early-stage companies, where you said the need was, rather than become conservative and fund at a later stage? How do we ensure they're fair to taxpayers? What sort of a governance structure would you recommend?
The second thing is about the National Angel Organization, with respect to flow-through shares, innovation, productivity, and tax credits—very intriguing ideas. Flow-through shares have been promoted to me by Ballard and other companies for years. As you know, the finance department is not all that amenable to that. With the innovation and productivity tax credit, if there is any further information you have on those two initiatives that you can supply, stacked like that to the committee and that we can chew on, that would be very helpful to us.
I just want to put those two on the table from the chair. Unfortunately, we can't have any responses, because we are out of time. The vote prevented us from being here earlier.
I want to thank you for your time here today. It was a fascinating discussion.
Members, we are going to suspend for a minute, and then we'll discuss the motion.
Thank you.
