This needs to be addressed. Providing subsidies and frameworks for partnerships between public and private institutions is important because it addresses the shortfall of research and innovation. I know that funding follows innovations. Where funders are interested in a particular innovation, they present the necessary funds that are required. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion.
