You're right. That can be a gap. At times we've run several programs. We're quite well networked across Canada because we run some NRC IRAP-sponsored programs, so we get in touch with a lot of different companies. With the IRAP program, it's SMEs that are more at the revenue-generating end of things. We've worked with a lot of start-ups through several programs that we've had in the past few years.
Our most recent program ended in March 2020, just 13 months ago. We canvassed all across Canada very quickly to find seven projects in that year. We completed those projects. Those companies have since gone on to raise $45 million and hire 60 people in Canada.
If we can put the word out that these programs are available, there's very good uptake. Certainly, creating more of a national ecosystem and network with regional offices set up to really look in the various regions to find the best opportunities would be even better.
