Thank you.
Mr. Dicerni, I believe the work you do at Industry Canada is certainly one of the most important things we do for our future, because I believe that our two biggest challenges for our future are innovation and productivity, for the jobs of the future and to develop the full potential of our young people, etc.
You talked about research chairs and the knowledge infrastructure program. Can you take a minute to tell us how your priorities--and reporting is part of that accountability piece--help make Canada more innovative and competitive and how they will do that as time goes on?
