Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both of the witnesses today.
I was glad to hear you refer to SONAMI. Conestoga College is just a block away from my constituency office, so I'm very familiar with it. I grew up in Niagara, so I'm very familiar with Niagara. I know all the things you do. I've been to the culinary school and seen the grapes, and you have all the various kinds of liquor covered, just so everyone knows. It's a great place.
I'm also very aware of the research you've done with manufacturing. I was the chair of the manufacturing innovation network, and I'm quite aware of all the excellent collaborative, applied research that goes on with manufacturers.
Just to clarify, the purpose of this study is not to redistribute the current funding and take away from one group of post-secondaries to apply to another. In your opinion, do you think it would be better to create specific programs to support college-level research or adapt the existing fund programs, and if so, how could the existing programs be improved or adapted?
