Industry committee  It's certainly part of the solution to find more ways for people who have done well to participate in the development of science and technology companies and growing the knowledge economy. That's absolutely welcome. The Government of British Columbia has put limited tools on the table to enable these entrepreneurs to get tax credits for the investments they make.

Industry committee  Good afternoon. Thank you very much for the invitation to speak. The B.C. Innovation Council is a creature of the Government of British Columbia. We are a crown agency under the Ministry of Advanced Education and we live in three specific areas. We operate in the talent space, so looking at the people side of the science and tech industry; we look at the innovation side; and we look at the commercialization side.
