Welcome back.
We'll get started again so that we can finish in good time.
This is a brief reminder for those participating by video conference to click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For interpretation for those on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of the floor, English or French.
It's now my pleasure to welcome, from Polytechnics Canada, Sarah Watts-Rynard, the chief executive officer. From Research Canada: An Alliance for Health Discovery, we have Alison Evans, president and chief executive officer. We have online, from Retraction Watch, Ivan Oransky, co-founder.
We welcome you.
Up to five minutes will be given to each of you for opening remarks after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Ms. Watts-Rynard, I invite you to make an opening statement of up to five minutes.
