Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you very much to our witnesses.
Our chair knows too well that we have so many great questions and we only have a bit of time, but I'm happy for my colleagues who have asked some great questions.
Dr. Blit, I am going to start with you. That was a fantastic discussion. I think you had some great examples. You say we can keep students from STEM, but we're losing STEM students, so I'm going to talk about retention.
I know there's no silver bullet for fixing these innovation problems, as you've mentioned, so what is step one to keeping students specifically in STEM, as you've mentioned, in Canada?
