Thanks, Chair.
I want to follow up on this theme of transitioning science or innovation into the marketplace. It's a two-part question.
First, do you think the government has a role to play in that? The fear, of course, is that the government picks winners and losers, like the government is supposed to somehow determine that this, this, and this is what we should invest in to try to transition into the marketplace, but not that.
Second, though, I need to ask this question at the same time. If you feel that the government has a role to play in helping to finance the transition of science and innovation into the marketplace, what are your thoughts on using some of your current allocation of research funding to do so? Would you be open to that or not? It's easy to say yes, the government should be involved, and we need more money, but what if I turned it around and said yes, the government is involved and how much of your current allocation would you want to devote to that? That's a very real and practical possibility.
Let me ask those two questions to people who would like to answer.
