No. Really, what I would like to see is an umbrella organization that is making more of a pointed direction to the tri-council, saying, “Here are the big challenges we have in the country, and we would like to see some of the work that is being done—funding that exists within the tri-council—being earmarked to interdisciplinary research that is related to Canada's big challenges”.
I actually don't think it's a great idea to keep throwing more money at another agency to create yet another bureaucracy. I'd actually prefer to see a real effort to make that more effective.
