Other KPIs that the council tracks relate to our contribution to intellectual property. The work we do that we contribute to and create in our labs adds to Canada's overall tool box. We put around 200 new patents in place every year. We have 1,800 patents in our portfolio, over 500 of which are actively licensed.
Our trend of who we're licensing with is reflecting more Canadian institutions and Canadian licensing. Pretty much 80% of it will be placed in a Canadian business that can take the work we do and actually make something of it in our country.
We, as a research performer, in actually holding and developing IP for Canada, contribute to the kinds of issues that have been raised in the question.
