Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
First, I have a question for Mr. Gagnon, the dean of research at the École de technologie supérieure.
Mr. Gagnon, you are a professor of electrical engineering, and you've designed a more publicly accessible electrocardiogram system in co-operation with Concordia University.
Would you please tell us about the value of the research projects that cover various fields and about what they contribute to broader fields of research?
What should our role as MPs be?
Right now, we're studying the impact of the criteria for awarding federal funding on research excellence in Canada.
Do you think it should be completely independent of political decisions?
