Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would also like to welcome our witnesses here today. It's been very informative, and I've appreciated the questions that my colleagues have asked.
Dr. Beaudet, I found the series of examples that you gave in your opening remarks about the different technologies that are being developed, like using a smart phone instead of a stethoscope, pretty incredible.
I had an opportunity to tour the simulation learning centre at the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology campus in Saskatoon. The simulation centre includes treatment and assessment rooms, an apartment with cutaway walls for observation, a birthing unit, control rooms, and debriefing rooms. Patients are computerized mannequins. They are programmed to react as students administer CPR and drug therapies, intubate and ventilate, and insert IVs. It was incredible to see what can be done with technology in terms of training our health professionals.
Would you be able to tell me the areas of research that CIHR has invested in to support innovation by cutting red tape without compromising the safety of Canadians?
