Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank our guests for being here.
I just wanted to note that there's been a relatively high-profile case right here in the Parliament of Canada of the indigenous identity of a cabinet minister coming into question. This is something I just googled minutes earlier around faculty and faculty requirements. I thought, “Maybe this cross-pollinates.” Sure enough, there is an endless list of stories of this.
How do we ensure that if the government is pursuing this DEI, it doesn't happen in the academic world, essentially? You noted that the particular person studying mRNA eventually got their research forward and is a hero today in that.
How do we pursue that excellence without promoting self-identification that isn't necessarily correct?
