Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm just a visitor to this committee today, so thank you for affording me the opportunity to speak.
Dr. Sharpe, I wonder if you could make a comment here. One of the things that our government has seen as very important is making considerable investments in university programs for science and technology. We know that there are jobs of the future that are wrapped up in the kinds of projects you're looking at now. Can you comment on that kind of investment and what it looks like for the future of green energies?
I have one other question, and it's regarding your funds. When you have all of these companies that are accessing financing, and we know that financing is a scarce resource and that government is dealing with scarce resources, is there any mechanism whereby the companies themselves would replenish the fund once they've been successful in their capitalization and in moving their product to market? Has there been any discussion about that?
