As it is, the primary purpose of that follows up on recommendation 6 from the report I referred to earlier, which said:
That the Government of Canada encourage Canadian entities to keep ownership of intangible assets developed with federal funds, including intellectual property, by requiring, when appropriate, that they return moneys received from federal programs or subsidies in full or in part.
It arises from the testimony and the committee report on this that said that the minister should have more power to deal with intangible asset sales.
