Exactly. I appreciate this question, for a variety of reasons.
One is that, first of all, I think it's really misleading to juxtapose little universities, middle universities, big universities and so on, because when we look at much of the research activity that happens, in fact, the large, urban universities, which are the research-intensive universities, often act as hubs. Whether it's on a regional basis, nationally or globally, they're bringing together talented researchers from whatever institutions might be relevant.
The examples I gave earlier—and there are many, many more—show that it's quite an intertwined ecosystem. Canada needs those global leaders at the same time as they need opportunities for talent to emerge from anywhere. You never know where the next great researcher might emerge from, and we want to be able to give them opportunities to become part of these major initiatives that address issues, whether they're in agriculture or energy, as we were talking about earlier.
I want to emphasize the importance of.... When we look at measures and percentages and so on, keep in mind that it is really the big, urban universities where the medical faculties are. For example, to include CIHR funding and then to assess that in terms of any so-called distribution is very misleading. Obviously, U15 institutions get the vast majority of CIHR funding, simply because they have the doctoral medical schools.
My sense is that when you look at it, it is a much more integrated system that, happily, we have in Canada, as in the U.S. and Great Britain and so on. Global institutions are playing that role in being a catalyst within their locations across Canada.
