Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses and returning witnesses as well, especially Dr. Kevan. It's always great to have any time with you at all. I always feel there's a lot more to be said in every conversation I have with you, and it's great to have you and Guelph, and your team in Guelph working around the world.
You had mentioned right at the end of your comments about the role that Canadian scientists could or should be playing in the world that they're not currently playing. Could you expand on that? You also mentioned something about the Liberal platform, which caught my attention. How could the government assist in filling some kind of void that you started to talk about?
