Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you. We've had great testimony today.
Certain themes are developing, such as pooling, IP generation sources, various working models, and integration or collaboration among different superclusters. One of the things I am noticing but that, at least for me, is not coming across in a very clear manner that I can use to form my model for making recommendations, is really around what Mr. Gold talked about.
You mentioned it briefly at the tail end of your conversation, and you called it “soft stuff”. You talked about some tax credits or incentives, which goes back to funding, and some policies.
With about five and a half minutes left, can each of you give me one funding model or policy that we could use? At the end of the day, the government develops policies; the policies are focused on the direction the government wants to take, and then it uses funding to be able to advance that agenda.
If you could start with one policy that you think would make a difference in tech transfer to commercialization and the creation of jobs, as well as one funding model that would support that, what would that be?
Let's start with Mr. Gold.
