Yes, I would like to comment on several of those things.
I appreciate Dr. Coulombe's answers with respect to NRC. But in the delivery of Canadian science, there are science-based departments and agencies that should all be connected, because they all work for the public trust.
With respect to the panel, I received a letter just the other day from the minister saying that this particular report was still in cabinet and that there was no decision on it yet. So that's as fresh as yesterday.
With respect to the comments by the honourable member Scott Brison, absolutely, those facilities are extremely important to Canadians. We find that they're underfunded and they can't perform the mandate they once did, including collaborative research with other agricultural facilities across the country, which we have visited most extensively. It's not only agriculture; it's Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada. These areas need to be better funded.
There is a lot of angst. There is a lot of angst in the scientific community.
