If we want to achieve the desired results and objectives, which are to increase Canada's productivity and affect wealth and growth, the new research funding umbrella organization must ensure that all research actors have a voice that carries equal weight within the body. I'm thinking of those who carry out research, whether it's fundamental or applied, or whether it concerns development, innovation or commercialization.
That would make it possible to distribute funding and projects and ensure that everyone can maintain this continuum, so that the development of knowledge becomes the application of knowledge and, ultimately, a product or service that benefits Canadians.
