I really appreciate the witnesses being here today. It's a pretty robust discussion, and I am thankful for it. This entire study is very illuminating on many different fronts.
I want to focus on scientific integrity again. What I am hearing is that scientific integrity is critical to the decision-making process from the planning and the conducting of the research to the production of advice and the application of advice to the department and to the minister.
Could you provide the committee with recommendations—and I think you've done this to a degree—on how we can better integrate better processes and information with the science community?
Mr. Chair, perhaps we can start with Mr. Bateman or Mr. Riddell on some of that advice or those recommendations in terms of the integration side of things.
