Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I would like to thank you, Mr. Weatherell and Mr. Robitaille, for taking part in our committee's work as witnesses. We greatly appreciate it. This is the first opportunity I have had to participate in this committee. I find your comments very interesting. Perhaps I will make sure I attend this committee's meetings more often.
Mr. Weatherell, you piqued my curiosity earlier when you spoke about the complexity of the innovation system in Canada. You said that, in this context, some companies had put all their innovation eggs in a basket abroad. Could you describe this complexity and why these companies have placed their eggs outside Canada?
You also spoke about the Australian model. Could you tell us about the situation there and briefly describe their model?
