Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I wanted to give Dr. Engelhardt an opportunity to respond. I felt our last questioner was pretty hard on you in questioning your credibility and that of Dr. Butler-Jones, Canada's top doctor. She said some things that I'd like to give you the opportunity to respond to, including that you hadn't given a reason for the cancellation. I believe you said quite clearly today that it was a judgment call. You said there are a lot of priorities as far as HIV research is concerned and that we know it's a worldwide effort. We even heard from one of our witnesses how important it is for public investment.
However, has a decision been made to remove the funds from the table, or are these funds still going to be made available, perhaps for a priority issue, as you mentioned? Are they going to be made available for other priorities?
