My first question is for Mr. Toews and Ms. Brocklebank.
From what I heard today so far--and correct me if I'm wrong--overall the programs that were within the first phase of Growing Forward, or the science and innovation side, were good. One area for improvement might be the timeframe, which could be a little more flexible. As well, the application and the reporting process could be streamlined.
Is that fair to say? Is there another sentence or a paragraph you'd like to add?
