Thank you very much, Minister, for appearing before our committee today.
I think it would be fair to say, given the various activities that you have undertaken over the course of the past month, that you have essentially become the mobilizer-in-chief, and you are in contact with various segments of our economy.
I don't think you had enough of an opportunity to talk about the great work that Canadian scientists are doing. I know that's something you take a personal interest in.
I wonder if you could provide us with more of an update on the excellent work that our scientists at the University of Saskatchewan are undertaking. I know our government did make available an additional $23 million to them so they could continue with their cutting-edge research.
