Thanks, Chair.
Thanks for the discussion. Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Stoff, I'll start with you.
We heard Mr. Gaffield say earlier that Canada's research security is “among the best in the world”. You are quoted in the Toronto Star not so long ago as saying, “Politicians in the U.S. are starting to have these conversations, but Canada can rightfully say they're leading the way”.
Mr. Stoff, can you tell us why you would say that?
