Thank you, Chair.
Thanks to both of you for being here.
I'd like to echo Mr. Blanchette-Joncas' comments about Dr. Bouchard and your report, and what that has really meant to us here at this committee in pushing to provide support for research and science in Canada. We're happy that some of those things have come to pass, and we're hoping that we will see more and more.
You mentioned what the United States is doing, and you finished by talking about the difference in Canada with more SMEs and fewer big companies here—fewer Googles, Microsofts and so on. However, the U.S. is investing vast amounts of money in science and research, and from all reports, it seems to be paying off handsomely already.
You mentioned that Canada has dropped to number three in being a partner with United States. Who are the top two?
