I would echo the comments that Dr. Sinervo just made about the independent advice to government on science and the importance of that being sustained in relation to what happens in other jurisdictions. I have nothing much to add there.
What I do want to talk about a little is the critical mass and the opportunity we have. The good news is that if you look at the Canada research chairs program, you'll see that 30% of those Canada research chairs are filled by people who have either come back to Canada or have come to Canada for the first time. So the investment that has occurred in that particular program has brought dividends to us, and each of the areas that we represent has benefited directly from it. That's been superb. But again, it reinforces the shortness of the window of opportunity. These are the best people in the world, otherwise they wouldn't have been appointed as Canada research chairs, and because they're the best people in the world they can be competed for and recruited elsewhere. So if they're coming into ocean science or astronomy or areas of physics, the three areas that we represent, it's absolutely critical that they have access to the facilities that attracted them here in the first place and that those facilities are not allowed to diminish.
The second comment I would make is in terms of the U.S., because that has particular consequence, I think, for each of us. It has special consequence for NEPTUNE. NEPTUNE Canada was established as an international facility with the U.S., and that still is the full plan. Because the U.S. funding has been delayed due to the circumstances there, it's given us an opportunity in the short run to have Canadian leadership be even stronger than it would have been, increasing its attractiveness to that research community, which again just reinforces the point.
