Thank you.
As I described, I've been one volunteer among many. I'm by no means more prominent than others. I've served on most of the committees, although perhaps not the finance committee. I've been part of the foundation from its earliest days.
It is really not about us or what is being said; it is really about the work. It's research, and it's not just research; it's helping researchers find new ways to get their work out and help them to understand realms that are outside of the university.
We've heard a lot about meetings with civil servants. That's something the foundation is very proud of. It's one of the reasons we were so excited to bring in a man with the stature of Morris Rosenberg: It was precisely because he offered a window for brilliant Canadian researchers into the functioning of our government—not in a partisan way, not in a partial way and not about any kind of influence, but so that our smartest minds could understand how our government works and how they deal with ideas within the civil service.
