Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today. I would also like to thank them for their understanding with respect to this somewhat unique situation.
Ms. Lehtinen, both Canada and Quebec excel in research. We have many people with potential. However, developing that potential requires support. As you yourself said, the marketing and industrialization of our discoveries are not keeping pace.
Can you explain the reasons to which you attribute Canada's chronic inability to translate its scientific breakthroughs into economic benefits?
