To start with the more micro analysis, your point is a very good one. Our value is the fact that our founders are incredibly talented people. Their backgrounds are industry photonics and the pharmaceutical industry, and that leads definitely to processes and intellectual property processes.
Each of those two individuals also spent time at the University of Toronto and integrating businesses with University of Toronto programs. They have a unique combination of skills, and there's a direct relationship right back to the University of Toronto. A lot of the photonics expertise we have was done by people who were professors at the University of Toronto. Former members of that faculty are today on our scientific advisory committee.
Again, speaking to our focus as a development company and a technology company, it was founded on the strengths of very creative, very smart people applying technologies in a unique way to address a problem that we see in the world today, which is directly on point with what Mr. Desrochers says about people evolving and using technologies and applying them in unique ways and developing them for social good and economic good.
For us, we do have the challenge of being a small company trying to have large companies adopt and use our technologies or be prepared to spend research and development dollars to help get us to that next level. That is a challenge for a company like ours. It's also a challenge in an economy such as Canada's, which is small compared with the economies of the U.S. or China, for example, and probably a little less technologically focused given where a lot of the wealth in our country has been created.
