Thank you very much.
The need for a capstone-like structure is bearing out, with some of the testimony, on some of the problems we have in Canada with funding of research.
Earlier we talked about some questionable studies from humanities and social studies that have been getting federal tax dollars, but we know there are issues with STEM studies as well. I'm talking about the replication crisis in which the results of many scientific studies, particularly in health and psychology, have been discovered to be impossible to reproduce, which is kind of concerning with the dollars going to studies that we can't reproduce afterwards. It's getting a fair bit of attention.
Could you tell the committee more about this replication crisis for scientific literature and how the capstone might be able to assist in resolving that?
That's for either witness, please.
