Thank you, Madam Chair. I also want to extend a warm welcome to our witnesses for appearing before us today and for their very informative testimony.
I'd like to start with you, Dr. Beaudet, if I may. Many researchers and medical professionals would argue that nanomedicine is the way of the future and researchers have only begun to scratch the surface. I can tell you that our government has made significant investments since we formed government, a total of $121.5 million since 2006.
Can you tell us how these investments have helped our health care system become more innovative?
