Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. McDougall, I hope to have an opportunity to ask questions of other members of the panel, but like my previous colleague, I'll start with you.
I'm interested to know what happens to intellectual property that comes out of a lab—for example, the medical device lab in Halifax, which is now going to be shut down.
In fact, I'd also like to know why the bad news for that lab last week, when previously they were...or I guess it was made public that it wouldn't be touched for three years. What changed?
