Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to begin by thanking the witnesses for joining us this evening to participate in the committee's study.
My first question flows from something my fellow member just talked about, the creation of the Canada Research Coordinating Committee in 2017.
I'll start with you, Dr. Strong.
In 2011, Quebec combined its three research funding agencies under the umbrella of the Fonds de recherche du Québec. That was more than 10 years ago.
Have you consulted your Quebec counterparts to learn about the benefits of bringing research funding agencies together under a single umbrella?
