We will continue with our pre-budget deliberations. I want to welcome our witnesses today. Thank you in advance for your presentations today and also for your briefs, which you have submitted previously.
You've already been instructed that you'll have five minutes to basically summarize your entire treatise, which is very challenging, we know, but we want to allow time for an exchange of questions and comments with committee members as well. I will give you a sign when you have a minute left and let you know that your time is running out, and I would appreciate it, of course, if you would bring a conclusion to your presentation at that juncture.
We're looking forward to your presentations, and I will begin today with a five-minute presentation by the representative from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. That would be Suzanne Fortier.
You have five minutes. Please proceed.
