Mr. Florizone, I like universities like yours very much and I congratulate you on your work. I am from Trois-Rivières, where we have the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. It has a hydrogen research institute. There is also a research centre on small business, which has become well-known in Europe and is generating returns on the investment. I believe strongly in universities that are well integrated into their communities and I find it really interesting to hear about your research centres.
You say that funding for operational expenses in research centres is a problem. This morning, we were told that the second and third phases of the expansion of the centre are underway. I asked how it would be funded, and they specifically mentioned foundations.
With foundations providing part of the funding, does business contribute too?
