Yes. Of course.
I think the model of Quebec is certainly a very interesting one. Coordination I think had some very positive aspects.
On the other hand, the range that our agencies have is quite enormous. I, myself, as a mathematician and physical scientist would not feel qualified to make judgements about humanities much less about medical sciences.
I know that in the day I have to make decisions where my knowledge of the field, the fact that I am an academic with a certain background, allows me to have that view. Also, I may say, Canada is a very broad country and there are different points of view across all the provinces in the country. We tend to always go towards a confederation model where we put together the diverse points of view and work together.
What I see emerging is the close collaboration that we have among the agencies creating that sort of role that Dr. Hewitt has in the sense that we are constantly in touch, we're working together, and we have a number of joint initiatives, but we also have that diversity when it comes to issues, for example, of technology in the case of what we talk about in the natural sciences, or these deep health issues that Dr. Strong talks about, or the social sciences and humanities. I think we need to have that expertise, and some differentiation I personally think is valuable.
Thank you for your question.
