Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Before I begin, I want to acknowledge that this is difficult for researchers and organizations that depend on the government for funding now and in the future. I also want to point out that one of the key guiding principles of the CHVI is on accountability and transparency.
I'd like to begin with Ms. Medwick. Is ICID an independent, arm's-length agency with its own board, yes or no?
