Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for joining us and for their work in their respective communities.
Our current discussions directly concern the key priorities of budget 2025. These priorities are to strengthen our workforce and improve access to essential services for the people of Quebec and Canada, particularly in underserved areas. From supporting innovation and the bioeconomy, to expanding opportunities for young people and ensuring better coverage for health care services, these investments have a clear objective. They seek to build a more resilient and inclusive economy.
Mr. Henderson, I would like to ask you a quick question. What are the risks to innovation if this funding isn't renewed over the long term?
