Thank you, Madam Chair.
One thing I wanted to ask about that we've gone over in some of the previous hearings with neurological disorders, and I don't think we've paid significant focus to today, is that which is certainly in the federal domain, and that is research. One thing we talked about with previous groups was how difficult the application process was to apply for a CIHR grant, about the number of projects that are being left off the table. That was a common thread we heard, whether it was ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or a variety of other groups that we've heard from.
I wanted to get your impressions on what you've heard about the CIHR process. And do you know if there is a fair amount of research that is being left off the table in terms of autism?
That's a general question for whoever may be best equipped to answer that.
