The Office of Energy Research and Development is the coordinator of R and D and in a broad sense represents Canada in energy matters in a number of international fora, such as the International Energy Agency's committee on energy research and technology or the carbon sequestration leadership forum. It basically manages programs. It does not perform R and D; it is a funder of R and D, very broadly, not just for government labs but also for industry and for academia.
We work closely with other groups, such as NSERC, and work closely with the performers, such as the CANMET laboratories and the Geological Survey, and with the mining and metals sector in looking at lightweight material, for example, for transport, and we look at forestry as well.
With respect to the roles of the CANMET labs, I'll turn to Mr. Aubé.
