Order, please, members and witnesses.
We are starting our second panel here. We have two very distinguished guests and look forward to an excellent discussion.
From the Science, Technology and Innovation Council, we have the chair, Dr. Howard Alper, and we have a member, Dr. Heather Munroe-Blum, who is the principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University. I think we'll allocate about 10 minutes between the two of you for presentations, and then we'll go to questions from members.
Dr. Alper, do you want to lead off?
