Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I want to thank all the witnesses. It was very interesting.
My question is for Ms. O'Reilly Runte. It concerns the role played by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the CFI, in science and research in Canada.
Would Canada be in its enviable position today if the CFI hadn't been created in 1997?
How should we fund the CFI again to make sure Canada takes its place in an international competitiveness context?
