Through you, Mr. Chair, to Ms. Grewal, I had to repeat my high school in Canada, because when I applied to the university when I came in, half the year had gone, and they would not accept me at the University of Toronto. So I had to repeat grade 13. I went to Parkdale Collegiate Institute, a very famous, more than 100-year-old school in Toronto. Then I went to the University of Toronto for my bachelor of chemical engineering and my master of chemical engineering degrees. I am a professional engineer.
As well, I have been, until recently, on the advisory board of the Department of Chemical Engineering in terms of my academics.
In terms of my life experience, or in terms of my business experience, I spent about 25 years manufacturing pharmaceuticals, right from the floor level, as any new immigrants do. I worked right from cleaning the floor all the way up to being vice-president of manufacturing. I was also on the processing committee of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Canada for four years representing the whole industry.
Then again, I'm still learning.
