Thank you.

I'll continue with Dr. Fortin.

We've heard of some of the biases. We've heard of perhaps a bias around the impact scores. You mentioned DORA, the Declaration on Research Assessment—the San Francisco declaration—which I believe is about 10 years old, but perhaps it is only being implemented now in various institutions around the world. You said that NSERC was changing its methods along those lines.

I just wonder how long you have been doing this. Has there been a change in what you've seen in terms of how different programs score?
