Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for attending this morning and providing evidence and information to us.

Mr. McLean, I'll start with you.

You emphasized in your opening coordination and collaboration. I think the word that Mr. Binette used was “ecosystem”. He talked about almost the same theme. How does the federal government help with that? How do we make those connections?

I read the previous report that was undertaken on IP strategy at another committee. That study occurred about five years ago. It talked about a concierge service helping with those networks, whether for small or medium-sized enterprises and/or post-secondary institutions, and getting them to those people who were the investors.

How does the federal government help with that process?
