The meeting will come to order. We're now in public.
I'd like to thank you, Ms. Blain, for indulging us with the extra time we needed to do some committee business. We appreciate your doing that for us.
The practice is that you have five to seven minutes initially to present, and then you will have questions from each of the parties with respect to your presentation.
I understand you're the vice-president of research grants and scholarships with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. We welcome you here today.
Feel free to start your presentation.
