Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all three of our witnesses, specifically, Dr. Langley and Mr. Lievonen for your many hours of volunteer work. All Canadians should be most grateful for your expertise.
My first question is for Mr. Lievonen. I first met you when you were president of Sanofi Pasteur and had the opportunity to visit your manufacturing facility on Steeles in Toronto. In fact, I think I first visited when it was Connaught.
Could you explain for the committee exactly what goes into building a biomanufacturing facility? There seems to be some sort of idea that you snap your fingers, you put up a building, and you're ready to go.
Could you explain the complexity in putting together such a biomanufacturing facility?
