Absolutely. There's no denying it. With cuts affecting everyone, how we invest in and build our research capacity is very important. We need to coordinate funding and mandates now more than ever, because organizations already exist to build this capacity.
We're starting to do it organically. We're working with a network of CEOs of organizations similar to ours elsewhere in the country, including Export Development Canada and Intellectual Property Ontario. We're trying to do similar things and hold informal meetings to share best practices. It's a natural thing to do, but it also needs to be structural. We have a memorandum of understanding with the Fonds de recherche du Québec to coordinate these efforts, and another with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Again, it's a natural thing to do, and we're doing it ourselves.
It's important to structure this correctly and make sure we can work across the country.
