Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank all of you for your presentations today.
It's been very enlightening. Where do we start with all of this because you've all got such great input?
I'll start with this concept of the entrepreneurial opportunities.
I think it was Dr. Gray who spoke about the funding that's required to do the entrepreneurial end of getting some of these products going. In the bamboo industry, I know you may be familiar with what they've done with respect to clothing, bedding, towels, and all sorts of other things that they're doing with bamboo now. It's in very high demand. You're talking about another method of using wood that could ultimately become high demand.
We've got things going on in government investment, a lot of things going in universities, such as robotics in innovation and sciences. I think $10 million in the form of a research grant just went to a combination of Simon Fraser University, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, and Ryerson, for a program. It really was about entrepreneurial opportunities utilizing folks in the science and technology fields to try to bring new innovative products online.
Are you familiar with any of that?
