I think we have to build on where we already have capacity. And I think you've nutted it; we find ourselves in a situation where we are a mile wide and an inch deep and, as a consequence, not making hay in any arena.
Discovery research is the pipeline. All of the good stuff we already have on board has been out-licensed everywhere else. If Canada has the pretense of evolving into a knowledge-based society, it is fundamentally based in discovery with no known potential application. It is the fabric of the culture. It is what has taken over Singapore. It is what has taken over Israel. It is where Ireland is going at this juncture as well.
So I quite agree; I think Canada's innovation system has to be put in place. I hope I'm not misunderstood: it is the framework that is critical, and that framework can be applied to any arena once we decide on the arenas that eventually we have capacity in. Health research is one.
