Thank you. I will continue with Ms. Amyot and a question about applied research.
You mentioned how important applied research is in colleges. In my hometown of Penticton, we have Okanagan College, which has a renowned sustainable building program both for research and training.
The federal government is looking for ways to quickly expand the construction of new green buildings and the retrofits to buildings across Canada. Is this something where perhaps this program could be expanded? If the government needed knowledge research results quickly...you mentioned the fast turnaround.
Is this the kind of work that the federal government could directly engage with colleges if they want quick answers on specific bits of applied research, or are they doing that now?
