Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the panel for your information.
I'm certainly not an emergency room doctor, or a pharmacist, or a corporate lawyer, or a self-described nerd. Actually, I'm very much not a nerd. I'm very much a layman here, so some of my questions might be pretty basic.
I'm just going back to 2015, when I was campaigning for the first time as a federal MP. I represent Calgary Confederation, where there are a lot of research scientists at the research park at the University of Calgary. I go to their doors and ask for their support, but they say, “No, I'm sorry. You muzzled the scientists. I can't support you guys.” I leave graciously and I'm thinking, “Okay, we obviously must muzzle these scientists, so something should be done about it, I guess.”
Has anything changed? I'm going to be door-knocking again in that particular area in about a week or so. Are there still muzzles on these scientists as we speak? Are they happier now than they were in 2015?
