Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
I'm going to start with Mr. Fogal.
In terms of the investments that are being made in this research and research facility, I know you spoke about the cost. Could you perhaps speak a little more about what these investments mean—in terms of following up on this conversation—for data and policy, specifically around climate change? I know that we've heard a lot at this committee that you really do first see the impact in the north, some of these changes in the atmosphere. How important is this research for policy-makers?
