Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before starting, I wanted to thank you for the great printed pieces you left us with. When I got it freshly out of the box, it brought back reminders of my previous life in the print and communications business. To have that reminder every once in a while is a great thing, so I did appreciate that.
I wanted to talk a little about innovation challenges in the context of innovation versus bringing that innovation to market. That's one of the key challenges we face throughout the world, I think, and it's one of the challenges the Canadian industry faces. The commercial viability issue always has to come back into this. There has to be a commercially viable need or requirement for that particular innovation in order for it to go to market. That also involves, obviously, the public deciding that they want to invest in it, and not just in a monetary way; they also want to invest in that technology for them to use.
What is happening with regard to the industries themselves being involved in helping to bring their innovations to market? From your perspective, what are you seeing out there in Canada through the different industries that are innovators? How are they working to bring innovations forward as very marketable commodities in the end?
