This is a good question.
The current funding allows for a fairly narrow focus. A company has to come and say this is their challenge, this is their problem, and they'd like to adopt this new technology. That's the work that's being done. I think, if we were valuing that to the extent that it should be valued in the Canadian economy, we would spend more time talking to the researchers, the students and the institutions. Dr. Sheane brought up the technology access centres. She said to please go out and diffuse the knowledge that you have found in these projects.
It's not a matter of sharing the IP. It's a matter of what we learned about the adoption of this technology in your business and who else in the community would benefit from that. Realistically, the funding is much more directed than that and in very small amounts, which means that the focus is on the business that knocks on the door. I'm worried about the businesses that don't come knocking at the door and don't realize that this support is available to them. I think that's a huge missed opportunity for Canada.
