I hardly know where to start. This committee has been infinitely educated by the quality of witnesses we have. This is certainly no exception; we've had great presentations today.
Mr. Potter, I have to say, you're far from a simple guy. If I were as simple as that, I wouldn't have any trouble going home and saying it. You've outlined what is the strategic interconnectedness with respect to what you talk about: taking tomorrow's opportunities from today's challenges. You talk about working with the National Research Council and the provincial affiliates to have a jurisdictional strategic policy development entity or regime.
You've heard Ms. Krause, who has described what I am inferring—and this is my own inference—is a conspiracy theory, which in some way suggests that we are not capable of dealing with balanced criticisms that are funded by legitimate entities, and that this conspiracy is in fact going to take us further from what you, Mr. Potter, have described as an opportunity. You've given us a clinical analysis and a prognosis for action.
My question is for you, Mr. Potter. You've heard Ms. Inman, who has also talked about the technology of developing carbon dioxide and using it to come to grips technologically with the issues that are affecting health and creating concerns for Canadians. I'm going to give you the floor now. What is your take? Are you still optimistic with respect to the capacity-building that is needed to generate the solutions that have been addressed by others?
