I'm sure you will over time.
That was an interesting comment about commercialization, because I'll give you an example of commercialization. Genome Canada did funding with Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. They did discover a very important gene. It was Newfound Genomics, a company that I owned, that actually developed that for the marketplace. We developed the diagnostic to put into the marketplace. That's an example of commercialization and good science and how it gets to market. Today it's saving lives. It's a simple test that can save lives. It's very important.
You talked about President Barack Obama and how much money he's putting towards it, saying that there are some challenges in the dollar amounts in terms of whether or not he's investing in true science or education, for example. Currently 2.68% of their GDP is put towards science and technology, and that's moving towards 3%. In Canada it's less than 2%. How do we maintain our international competitiveness?
Last week, for example, President Barack Obama, speaking about the current global crisis with the H1N1 flu, said that if there were ever a day to remind us of our investments in science and technology, this would be the day.
Those kinds of investments in science and technology are incredibly important. Would you comment on the percentage of GDP?
