Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, both of you. It is an intriguing topic, as always.
Dr. Alper, picking up on some of the earlier comments concerning how you're engaged with the minister, we heard that the deputy ministers provide the ability to implement ideas and so on, but we also realize that ultimately government policy is going to be set by cabinet.
Could you give us an idea of how STIC can interface at that level? How can you influence policy at that level?
