We have exactly the model that you are talking about. We try to have our field staff as close as possible to the clients and as close as possible to different organizations that are active and present in the communities, so IRAP ITAs, industrial technology advisers, are located in 123 places all over Canada. Their main role is, first, to understand very well the makeup of their territory in terms of small businesses, medium-sized businesses, investors, regional development organizations, universities, colleges, and so on; and they are always central in the innovation ecosystems of communities.
