As you know, the innovation agenda is a core part of my mandate, and it really speaks to our government's commitment with respect to not only investments in infrastructure but looking at innovation policies to drive growth and to really create opportunities for businesses to succeed.
As I mentioned in my remarks, we went out to Canadians in June to engage and to get their feedback. We had unprecedented support with over 1,500 submissions.
After we received that, I went back out in very public forums to talk about the feedback we received. I highlighted the three elements: people, technologies, and helping companies scale up. I alluded very clearly to this being an essential part of our budget process that should be integrated into our budget development process.
