That's great. Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses. It's good to have diverse opinions and discussion in our committee.
I'll be directing my questions to you, Dr. Kitcher.
I'm currently doing a master's in leadership at the University of Guelph. I would have loved to have you around for the ethics course we did a couple of courses back. We were studying Joshua Greene's book Moral Tribes and the tragedy of the commons, which has many meanings, or double meanings, for me. Every time I'm reading, I'm thinking of how tribalism gets in the way of good decision-making.
I think some of what we're talking about here is the tragedy of the commons. We have limited resources being shared among researchers and we are trying to look at how decisions are made to be equitable to researchers, whether they're from small or large schools or from different ethnic backgrounds, cultural backgrounds or language backgrounds, making sure that in Canada, French research is being recognized and accounted for in our decisions.
Could you maybe give us a quick snippet on the tragedy of the commons as it pertains to research funding?
