Quick question about innovation and science in economic development.

As you are all members of Alberta's public to you which sounds like a smarter way to invest $x in the Alberta economy.

A : All of X in Research that is of interest to local industry...the technology is close to readymade.

B : 50% of X is invested in cool research which can stand a good chance of being very important (eg quantum computers) but local industry uptake is small at best (it's a riskier long term play). And the other 50% in the same way as A
