Thank you for pointing out to us that, when it comes down to it, all the questions raised by the researchers who have testified here are perhaps due to the fact that the agency did not make use of a preliminary regulatory framework. If you could have participated, helped to draft it, I feel that all these questions might not have come up at all. You would have had the answers well before appearing here today.
Mr. Goel, Mr. Descoteaux, you brought up the question of research being abandoned. Mr. Descoteaux, you even went a little further in suggesting that, in economic terms, each dollar invested would be worth clearly less than it is today.
Can you give us more details about that?
