I'm not sure if we'll have witnesses in to talk to us about that, but the impact of that on our innovation agenda and our research agenda might be interesting. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162556\" data-originallang=\"en\">To Mr. Frise and Mr. Julius, I think both of you spoke to Canada's weaknesses in investment and innovation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162557\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Julius, you spoke about our developing a new strategy on research. Some of the witnesses have recommended to us that we pick six or seven winning sectors, if you will, and focus on them and support them all the way through. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162558\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm wondering if you like that idea. And if you do, what happens to numbers eight and nine?</p>",

Je ne sais pas trop s'il y a des t\u00e9moins ici qui peuvent nous en parler, mais il pourrait \u00eatre int\u00e9ressant de nous demander quel effet cela a sur nos programmes d'innovation et de recherche.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162556\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Frise et monsieur Julius, je pense que vous avez tous les deux parl\u00e9 de la faiblesse du Canada au chapitre des investissements et de l'innovation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162557\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Julius, vous avez dit que nous devions nous doter d'une nouvelle strat\u00e9gie de recherche. Certains t\u00e9moins nous ont recommand\u00e9 de choisir six ou sept secteurs gagnants, si l'on veut, de nous concentrer sur eux et de les appuyer d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1162558\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si vous aimez cette id\u00e9e. Dans l'affirmative, que ferait-on des num\u00e9ros huit et neuf? </p>"
