Sure.
Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and I would like to welcome all of our guests here today. It's been very informative.
I would just like to make a couple of observations on what we've heard.
I echo our chair's earlier comments when she said she had to turn and ask the clerk for some definitions, because we hear about discovery research, basic, pure, applied, translational: it can be mind-boggling when you hear all of the terms and try to figure out what we are talking about. I've heard many people talk about the need to bridge the gap between research and commercialization, and I'm assuming that's the valley of death.
Finally, I heard someone say that we needed to coordinate our regulatory pathway, and I guess that's what I want to zero in on, because I probably only have about three minutes left now. I recognize that there are probably regulatory barriers right now that keep us from being able to get to where we need to get to. I'm just wondering if any of you would like to address that issue.
