The business model for universities is undergoing a dramatic shift, and this speaks to some of the research funding that's happened recently. The Canadian research system is fantastic. The NSERC system and the tri-council agencies are truly fantastic, but they need about 10 times the amount of funding.
Correspondingly, there is an incentive for professors to seek external research contracts from a whole host of organizations, both domestic and international, at basically any cost. It's how they compete globally. Correspondingly, those can come with all kinds of terms, but they're typically IP terms. We are going through a mass sale of our IP right now because research contracts usually come with this proviso.
The secrecy element was surprising to me when I found out about it, but it's pervasive. If you look at the research funding across universities, over the last 10 years in particular, there's been this massive teeter-totter shift in how research is funded. It's not across the board. It's quite disproportionate for different sectors and different researchers, and I want to bring that to your attention because I think it's important.
