That's fantastic.
Again, it's the notion of speed and the willingness of the organizations, because you're right there on the ground. In the testimony that we've had in several different hearings, I've always noticed the ability of colleges and CEGEPs to immediately translate those demands by businesses into results, as opposed to the long-term research that takes place at the universities.
We're spending over $10 billion on public research. Unfortunately, the college level gets only about 3% of the total funding that is made available by the federal government. For example, in this recent economic statement, the government committed $165 million over five years to the college and CEGEP level, but I believe you had asked for $485 million.
I wonder if both you and Mr. McDonald can comment on that.
