Thank you, and welcome to the witnesses. I regret that we get only six minutes to ask you questions. It goes very fast.
To the folks from the Canadian Association of Science Centres, I was struck when we were visiting the TRIUMF facility in Vancouver. There were these amazing young physicists who were so inspired by the work they're doing. It was really exciting to see them, and it made me regret that I was a literature student and not a science major, because they were so excited about the work they're doing. It seems to me that if we are going to engage Canadians in science, we need to engage them as youngsters.
We have a science centre in my city, Toronto. I haven't been there recently, but I remember for a long period of time that there weren't new exhibitions and new things there, so we kind of stopped going. And I was very sad to see our planetarium shut down, because I loved the planetarium.
Do you believe...? I guess I'm asking you a leading question, because I think it's obvious that if we engage kids when they are young, they will grow up to be adults who are engaged and interested in science. Even if science is not their career, they will care about science and what their country's role is in scientific developments.
