In the main estimates, it looks as though your spending will increase by about $40 million, or 4.4%, over the next year. There seems to be a difference between funding health research and funding health research and trainees. Dr. Bernstein, I would like you to explain to the committee what the differentiation is there, and also in light of the fact that most of us are hearing in our ridings from research institutions that are very worried that some of their best and most promising researchers have been turned down. They're worrying about the situation we were in, in 1998, when we were worried that people would be going elsewhere to get funded.
