The institute's structure has existed for several decades now. As part of the revised strategic direction, which the minister will be talking about, I believe, in the new fiscal year, we are looking at refocusing many of our activities. Surface transportation will remain within what was the NRC Centre for Surface Transportation Technology. Rail is a critical function within that. We need to see how we can grow that and what the needs are. There is no point in just doing stuff because we think it's a good idea; there has to be a need driving it. One of those challenges is the needs for tomorrow as opposed to the needs in 15 years, or what the time frame of innovation is. Some things we may stop. That's the strong program development function we will be building at NRC.
We are also putting a major focus on automotive. The GDP contribution of automotive to the country is huge. That permeates many different areas at NRC at the moment, but there is not an institute I can point you to that is the automotive institute; it's embedded in many others.
Focusing on the sectors that are critical to Canada is one of the main areas I think NRC will come forward with, and I hope that the minister will support this and that it will be endorsed.
