A patent investment fund could be a combination of private and public. There are private equity companies that would be very interested in doing this.
These are not cheap. It would be upwards of $50 million to start a patent investment fund, but look at CPP, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. They have a lot of investment, a lot of our pension funds. It could be interesting to explore similar models not unlike the Northleaf model, a private equity model that's working quite well, to try to help venture capital. Again, it was a public-private venture in Ontario in which the Ontario government gave some money to some private sector.... I think some of the pension funds may have been involved. They have gone out to invest in companies.
There are some interesting models, which I have described in my report, that could be explored. They're not cheap, but it wouldn't necessarily require the government itself to put up a lot of money up front; it would be in partnerships.
