First and foremost, as you know, CIHR is invested with a significant amount of funds, a billion dollars, which we try to invest as efficiently and accurately as possible with respect to health research. In that regard, the changes we are implementing at CIHR were the result of a very significant consultation that we undertook with the provinces and the academic institutions and health centres on how we can reduce applicant burden, how we can ensure a more efficient application process to streamline the process by which the applications can come in and be peer reviewed.
I should mention that CIHR does have a world-leading peer-review process.
Essentially, the flowthrough of these changes has resulted in a functional program change, which does reflect a small gap, as I mentioned earlier, which possibly will affect 75 to 100 researchers. That's a very small number, notwithstanding an important number—not to dismiss it—of the 13,000 researchers we fund annually. We made every effort to minimize the gap, but the gap is very much a temporary one and one that is reflecting a change in our program approach to respond to the needs of the academic communities.
