Actually we respond to government needs coming from other government departments to support their mandates, departments such as NRCan, Environment Canada, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. NRC over the past has built strategies not on demand, but on indications set by the government for priorities. In the past it was biotechnology, aerospace, and so on; we responded to that. The idea then was to see how the S and T strategy was coming up and how we could respond to it for the country.
With the work we have done, I would probably not be surprised if we are already very aligned. Maybe we have to adjust when it comes out, but that is where we take our signals. It is really the priorities announced by the government, whether they are priorities through throne speeches or budgets, or just indications of where the country is going. That is what affects us; it is not particular demands. We respond to that and we present a program, a strategic plan, to Parliament.
