I would like it to be leading researchers, but again from our government labs, from our industry and from academia.
As I say, the countries that do it best are the ones that have figured out how to have all three work together and be instructive. The equivalent would be NRC in the United States, and also these joint things at universities. Different places do it differently. Other countries have these government labs that also then have academics at them and industry connections.
This is why we would like scientists—and it wouldn't cost that much, because we're usually willing to do it for free—to advise on things like how we best get industry to work together with academia, with the government, so we can move forward on the big-picture items, whether it's to be ready for the next pandemic or whether it's how to do sustainable agriculture, how to do green energy better, how to do industry productivity better, how to do any of these large things. There should be these questions, and scientists should be asked, because we do go around the world and see these other systems, and we could bring this back to Canada and say that this is a really good way that other countries have done it.
That's why we think scientists should be at the table advising the government.
