Thank you for being here, Dr. Nemer.
One of the things I thought was nice about your presentation was hearing a bit about your background. In Windsor, where I come from, we have a strong Lebanese population. I think that weaves quite nicely into one of the questions that I have. As an example, we know that right now there are a thousand fewer scientists under the current government versus the previous government. Those positions, the minister mentioned in her testimony, were mostly related to unfilled positions. As well, we have the notion of increasing our capacity, so we have positions available. I'm wondering whether you have a time frame to fill vacant positions and whether there would be an expansion of positions in terms of scientists and government positions.
