I might ask Pari to weigh in on this too, because I know she thinks a lot about this.
I will just say that when it comes to fragmentation there are two pieces. One is that at the level of the researchers we find actually that increasingly there's a real appetite for collaboration. Sometimes there are processes that inhibit this, particularly around data and data moving between provinces. For instance, if it touches on health data there are real challenges, as we have all learned during COVID.
There are some challenges there, but we, like other agencies, are working hard to incentivize that. There are also structural challenges, though, around fragmentation. This is an emergent property of, frankly, chronic underfunding, because what ends up happening is researchers are trying to keep their labs going. They are trying to fund really big projects, and they end up taking funding from different places, wherever they can find it, which means you end up with pots that aren't necessarily lining up with shared deliverables, shared timelines and so on. The research tends to be siloed because of that scarcity of funding, as opposed to a situation where a project could be funded in whole by a single agency, allowing that research to be much more coherent in terms of sharing.
Maybe I will ask Pari to say a bit more, especially when it comes to data sharing in Canada.
