Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ms. Watts-Rynard, you mentioned the report that your organization did on the economic impacts of applied research at Canada's polytechnics. You shared with us a number that I thought was quite interesting, and I'd like to highlight it again. You said that $1 invested in applied research generates a return on investment of $8 to $18 and that, to me, is tremendous, and people need to know about that.
I suspect that, when you measure return on investment, it's easier to measure and include economic impacts, because you need to quantify a dollar amount. Are there other impacts that perhaps are not measured, like social impacts, that would mean that there are other greater returns on investment to this research that cannot be quantified?
