Thank you, Mr. Evenett.
I would like to go back to an earlier discussion. I believe it was involving Ms. Fralick with respect to our investments in research and development and the life sciences sector over the last many decades, as I believe you mentioned.
I understand. I have a few statistics here that we cut research and development investments at the federal level quite significantly between 2014 and 2017, and even earlier than that in comparison to other OECD countries.
Do you think that the cuts to research and development and to life sciences in Canada made during those early years, thinking primarily, of course, of 2007 to 2011, which I believe had the highest number of cuts, impacted the industry and our ability to grow the industry?
