Thank you, Chair, and thank you, witness, for being here.

I'm looking at your slides here. I have a couple of questions to start off with from there. They're not numbered, but it's on page three, the top one. It says that 60% of the NSERC-funded students and fellows work in an R and D environment and are already earning more than $70,000.

Part of the study that we're looking at is how industry and the skill gaps are actually taking place. How many of these actually end up in industries somehow, or supporting industry and our economy?
