In your opinion, what is Canada's competitive advantage in this research? What cards can we put in the hand of a researcher such as yourself, Mr. Hodgson? Is there something that we can provide? We know that cutting edge researchers value their services in the millions of dollars, a little like star hockey players. Apparently, we have to look all over the world for people of that calibre. But maybe that is not the solution either. We also have some very fine people at home. What can we offer to researchers like that? Do we have the structure to attract them?
