Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
First of all, allow me to welcome all of the witnesses joining us.
My first questions will be directed to Mr. Vats.
Mr. Vats, last week, we welcomed chief science advisor Mona Nemer as a witness.
I asked her a question about a recommendation in the Naylor report to create a national advisory council on research and innovation. The government started recruitment in 2019, but to date, we have no news about what progress has been made in recent years.
Is your department aware of the creation of this national advisory council on research and innovation?
