Perhaps I could jump in.
I think we have a challenge in Canadian universities, even in American universities, in the way we train highly qualified personnel researchers at the graduate level. For a long time we've had a default model of training people with advanced degrees on the assumption that they're going to give in to the academy and become professors and researchers. Statistically, only about 20% of Ph.D.s who complete their program are going to end up teaching in a university context.
One of the things we need to do is to begin modifying the training regimen because we need those highly qualified people, but we need them not just in the academy, we need them across the spectrum of economic activities. What we need to be doing in universities is modifying our advanced training programs to show students there are multiple pathways, such as the pathways that could capture the excitement that Vince was talking about at Berkeley.
