Thank you. I'll be sharing my time with Lloyd.
Thank you very much for the presentation. It was very, very informative. No, I did not train Bindra, but I do curl. Before this life, I worked for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities - Ontario and I worked with the colleges' community development officers, so I know the importance they play.
In Sault Ste. Marie, we have Sault College and Algoma University. We have a number of Ph.D.s. We have a number of research centres related to forestry, invasive species, and the Great Lakes. Per capita, we have some of the most. We have incubators. We have a number of things in place, a sort of microcosm of the country.
I've been talking with the universities and colleges about how we can improve taking the tech transfer to market, and commercializing. Taking Sault Ste. Marie as an example, what are some of the challenges that have been present in the country over the last while? Over the last five or 10 years, have they gotten better or worse? Perhaps also compare our processes to those in the United States. We're a border town, so we're always looking across the river.
I'll start in order of the presentations. Michael first and then everybody else can have a chance.
