Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, witnesses, for appearing today.
I was going to ask one of the questions that MP Mazier just referenced, and that is about the Fraunhofer question. Mr. Balsillie, you answered that very well. You're not the first person to raise that.
You provided some other examples internationally, such as Singapore and Taiwan, and I think the Swiss have been mentioned here. These are other countries to look at in terms of maybe trying to steal some of their legislation or investment opportunities that exist for the government. The U.S. has come up a couple of times. I think you raised it here today.
You talked about the relationship between the federal government and state-level entities in the United States. How should that play out here in Canada as it relates to the federal government working with provincial partners? Sometimes that's difficult, as we know, as partisan politics can unfortunately stand in the way of making progress on certain issues. You mentioned what Ontario is doing here.
What role should the Government of Canada play in terms of supporting its provincial partners and, by extension, sometimes municipalities and post-secondary institutions?
