Oh, there is very much strength in having a unified type of process to fund single projects that have many proponents. In fact, it's something we tried to do under the ecoENERGY innovation initiative; we went through regional workshops using regional development agencies, but also through webinars and putting online collaboration tools in place whereby proponents or researchers could identify themselves.
It led to real results. For each of our demo projects we had an average of nine different proponents working together on a demonstration project, and on the R and D, about five different proponents per project teamed from different groups. That's real success, as far as being able to pull the best out of our innovation system in Canada is concerned.
