Dr. Williams, you touched on the point that I think is pandemic throughout the entire federal administration. It's not just with this particular government; the case applied before. That is the dichotomy of project funding versus core funding. I have come to believe that the way to go is to provide core funding as opposed to project funding.
If the government were to go that route, however, and perhaps it will want to try it with the next edition of the road map, how do you suggest that the government then undertake a periodic review to determine that for the institutions or the groups that are receiving core funding it is still appropriate?
That may not be the right word, but you can't have a status quo forever. On that one, I would defend the government: that getting core funding one year doesn't mean you get it forever.
What kind of mechanism would you propose to have an ebb and flow, if we adopted a core funding method?
