Thank you very much for that thoughtful question because it really is a priority for our government, as I mentioned. We want to get these good ideas that we invest in. We want to commercialize them. We want to generate revenue. We want to create jobs. We want to find solutions that benefit Canadians. Innovation is really about better outcomes: a better quality of life, a better society, etc. It's not always about the latest gadget. It's about how we can really improve things going forward.
You're absolutely right. I work very closely with Minister Sajjan and National Defence in a range of areas where we want to help accelerate commercialization of ideas. One area is through the industrial and technological benefits program when we acquire major assets for military. That's an area where, I think, through our value proposition, we really move the yardstick, and it's going to be really meaningful for the economy and for different sectors, particularly the aerospace sector.
With regard to government labs and DRDC, as you mentioned, we're widely engaged with the National Research Council, NRC. One of the objectives of the National Research Council is to take these government lab initiatives, to partner up with them, and to help further accelerate that commercialization. That's an area where we're working very closely together with National Defence. We are taking these ideas that are generated in the lab to quickly commercialize them so Canadians can benefit. Actually, society can benefit.
