What I will add is that, as a publicly funded post-secondary institution, it's not our place to say what the directive research topic study is. We look to industry and have them come to us with the challenge. We provide our expertise in terms of equipment, technology, academic rigour and evaluation methods, and then translate the results into practice. That's really where polytechnics have that strength. We're not setting the research agenda, but we are using our skills to support industry and communities in what they need, and we can do that through a rigorous research approach.
