For me the issue, as I tried to set out, is that the college approach to research in this country has, until now, not been valued in the way that we need to value it to drive impact for Canadians. I think there's a need to look at the ecosystem that we invest in, in this country, and to start to look at how, if we want to involve those who are partnering at the local level on problems that local folks have defined, we need to reinvest in college-led research as well.
