Thank you very much.
My first question is around health research and whether we are making adequate investments in health research and support to CIHR. We've heard from virtually every study we've done that research is required. On antimicrobials, we heard how important it was. Because the pharma companies were not investing in that, there had to be investments made for antimicrobial research. On the cannabis bill, we heard about the need for research now around cannabis, its health effects, and the longer-term consequences of it. On the opioid study, we heard from virtually every person that there was a need for treatment, and research into treatment protocols and directions, yet I didn't see where you sit on research, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Perron.
Do you feel that CIHR is adequately funded? I have to say that the majority of groups that come to see me do not feel that there are sufficient funds through CIHR and the other granting bodies to cover the degree of research that's needed.
