Thank you.
I want to talk about that investment in science and technology. Something that I find interesting is the debate about funding basic versus applied research. If you look at the government's record on investment in research, you clearly see that we have made significant investments in both areas of research. I've talked about the genome side on the basic side of the research equation, the NRC transformation on the applied side, and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, which you mentioned in your opening remarks, which kind of invests in both.
When we talk about making those significant investments, what is the appropriate balance when it comes to basic versus applied research?
