Thank you for sharing this information with us, Mr. Gonzalez.
I fully agree with what you said, namely that strong citizen science has transformative effects on society at large and, as you just mentioned, on various levels of government.
In regard to citizen science, I am trying to figure out how to solve a conundrum, specifically the problem of mobilizing the knowledge of a particular segment of the community. I am referring in particular to the French language, which is not very prominent, or altogether absent, in some areas of science in general and, of course, some scientific fields.
Mr. Vincent Larivière, a professor and researcher, mentioned that there is unequal access to opportunities of impact on knowledge mobilization.
How can we conceive of having a concrete impact on the public through science if it is expressed in a language that does not reach part of the population?
How do you think citizen science can be done if there is inadequate access to scientific content?
You work in both of Canada's official languages. How do you go about solving this conundrum and overcoming this challenge, which, in my view, may not be insurmountable but is still very difficult to solve?
