Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to start by welcoming our second panel of witnesses this evening.
My first questions are for Dr. Naylor.
Dr. Naylor, thank you for being here.
In less than two months, it will have been five years since you chaired the Advisory Panel for the Review of Federal Support for Fundamental Science. The panel's report, commonly referred to as the Naylor report, laid the groundwork for a strategy aimed at increasing research investment, achieving better coordination across the four granting agencies, and creating a national advisory council on research and innovation.
The report contained numerous recommendations. Do you think the measures the government has taken since the report came out are enough? Will Canada be able to make up for decades of lost ground in the research and innovation sector?
