I asked a question earlier to one of the professors. I fear somewhat that as a government, because we're so obsessed with getting results for the money that we spend, we tend to funnel and herd them in a certain direction. Is that the right approach? Should we just let academics go out there and do what they're good at, discovering things? Will you get the benefits if we adopt or go back to that process?
