Thank you.
I think it's important that the existing roles and responsibilities of the tri-agencies be relatively unimpeded during this process, just because of the importance of research and the everyday research that does happen, but this is an opportunity to review and harmonize a lot of that inter-agency communication.
Even in the fundamental science review, they recommended that the government undertake a comprehensive review to modernize it where possible, to harmonize a lot of the legislation between the four agencies and to support extramural research as well.
These calls have been coming since 2017. Opening up the idea of capstone allows us to re-evaluate some of those things, even including the review of current allocations of funding between the tri-councils as well. I think it ensures that we can have these types of conversations in a time when we are starting to have the conversation about preventing duplications and trying to streamline and enhance productivity and efficiency.
