Thank you, Dr. Vats.
On June 17, 2024, you formally asked people in the science ecosystem to comment on the establishment of the new umbrella organization. You set a staggering deadline of 30 days for conducting these consultations.
On the one hand, your department took a year and three months to decide to request public consultations, and on the other, you gave people in the science ecosystem 30 days to comment on the matter.
Would you agree that establishing this umbrella research funding organization is one of the biggest changes in the organizational structure that you've seen in the five years you've been in this position?
