The Senator asked about patents. Companies are deciding to patent outside the country. We are doing well in the country, but we want to do better, which is why we need more investment. We want to be a global innovation leader, which is why we have the Innovation 2020 strategy, but we need more investment.
I believe Deputy Donnelly asked about the shift from enterprise and research.
