I find it really interesting that you're calling for more government intervention, for another government body to help maintain our IP here in Canada.
I'd like to turn to Mr. Hepburn because I only have a couple of minutes left.
Mr. Hepburn, I found your testimony very interesting—the fact that we have no shortage of enthusiasm for commercialization but that innovators here have to sell their intellectual property to the United States to afford clinical trials.
It occurred to me that when we do have a big company in Canada, we tend to vilify it. I'm thinking of Loblaws or Air Canada. When they get really big, they seem to take on all the ire of struggling Canadians. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that.
I typically serve on the heritage committee, and we talk a lot about artists' IP, our cultural IP and how we're losing our cultural sovereignty to other countries because we're losing the rights to ideas.
Can you comment on those ideas?
