CANMET labs are definitely the core energy performers of R and D for Natural Resources Canada. As I said before, we count about 415 employees, and that number is complemented by other parts of the department that do research in energy.
We deliver on a lot of the funding that's provided by the Office of Energy Research and Development. We receive approximately $40 million per year to undertake research and development within our labs, much of it in conjunction with industry, and as I mentioned before, we work directly with industy. Industry, seeing us as a key performer, requests our research services and our technical expertise to undertake their own private research and development.
More on the public goods side, there is a lot of knowledge being generated from the labs, especially in terms of input into regulations and standards. That's where you're getting a lot of the knowledge and the scientific evidence.
