Mr. Chair, it's very important to recognize in this area as well that there was a study and a report by Tom Jenkins called “Review of Federal Support to Research and Development”. This was tabled in 2011.
Since that time, there has been a series of budget announcements in 2012-13 that have really implemented the plan. That included a number of steps related to the scientific research and experimental development tax credit program, and the doubling of what's called IRAP, the industrial research assistance program.
We've also moved ahead to leverage our procurement processes and to change them to favour industrial benefits. We've launched the venture capital action plan of $400 million. As part of this, of course, the National Research Council has undergone a transformation in terms of its focus and in terms of research and development.
