Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank everybody for coming forward and giving us your presentations.
I think it's absolutely critical that we continue to expand the dialogue between government and sector councils. You give a very good national glimpse of what each one of your industries is experiencing.
Madame Rivet, I would like to talk to you a bit about the biotechnology area and the considerable support in Canada we've found for the research side of your business. It's been going beyond the research and discovery stages that we've neglected in the past. Could you explain to me a little about the concepts of interdisciplinary training and the competency assessments you talked about in your brief, and how this could help grow the industry?
