Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here today. It's a pleasure to have you as our first witnesses on our new committee.
I want to begin with Dr. Nemer and follow up on a conversation that my Bloc colleague had put forward with regard to a national advisory council on research and innovation. It was one of the recommendations of the Naylor report that has yet to be followed up on by the government.
You talked about the ecosystem foundation being critical to science and research and innovation moving forward. We don't have that research and innovation advisory council. Do you believe it is key to helping develop that ecosystem?
