I'm a coastal girl on the islands, so I would include aquaculture in there as well. Sometimes there have been boutique programs that have been done with different federal government ministries working with the tri-agencies that have been successful at that.

Science and Research committee  I'd like to thank the committee for this opportunity to hear the views of the members of the Alliance of Canadian Comprehensive Research Universities, otherwise known as ACCRU. Our alliance represents 46 of 92—or 50%—of Canada's universities. Our members are small and mid-sized universities representing all 10 provinces and the Yukon.
