The due diligence process of the department is quite rigorous. We have evolved our continued contribution agreement standard clauses, as well as our overall approach, to ensure that we have protections in place and guardrails for Canadians, so that, whether it's research or a company commercialization project, there are effective mechanisms in place to ensure that it serves the public interest.
That varies depending on the nature of the activity. In research, that looks like one thing, whereas in commercialization it often means that we have clauses in place to ensure that there are protections for Canadians and to ensure the retention of intellectual property, of capacity and, ultimately, of Canadian strength.
