Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, all, for participating in today's discussion.
It's a complex issue. I think it's understood that the government is a strong supporter of and contributor to the industry, academically, venture-wise and innovation-wise—even in the nuclear industry. I recall that the previous government did away with support for atomic energy, which is a big part of our nuclear industry. It ended up falling behind as a result of the lack of support provided. It is essential for us to support Canadian innovation today in order to continue the work of Dr. Novog and others.
The complexity of the situation is also one of partnership. I appreciate some of the discussions we're all having.
Dr. Hepburn, you talk a lot about the private sector.
Dr. Novog, tell me this: Are you being supported by the private sector?
