I deposited with the committee our report of recommendations, which is called “Vers un Québec innovant” or “Towards an Innovative Quebec”.
Number one is the shift towards providing support to applied sciences; testing more down-the-road types of activities in innovation, pre-commercialization and commercialization; and reducing tax rates on the benefits coming from the exploitation of IP and patents developed by Canadian companies through these investments.
There is a significant lack of know-how, personnel, ability and culture to deploy the proper practices and ways to manage innovation and manage R and D, so as surprising as it may sound, it is an area of training and skills development that could make a huge difference.
I could go on like this. Regarding incentives, as we've heard before from other people around the table, it's not more money that's going to make a difference in this case; it's making sure to provide more impactful incentives. Some of the most impactful ones are on the public procurement side, but also on the procurement and use of Canadian technologies, products and services from large anchor companies.
