Very well.
Research that concerns national security is the reason we are here today, but I would like to hear your comments on other issues. In particular, I'm interested in the “Report of the Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System”. The panel was established at the government's request. The Bouchard report, as it's known, is a fine report. Earlier, the minister was not able to give me an answer, so I'd like to discuss it with you.
In the report, the panel proposes a clear timeline for concrete actions. The panel gives the government until the end of 2023 to set up the Canadian knowledge and science foundation, to increase funding for the three granting councils and to increase funding for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to competitive levels.
Can you give us a clear timetable or plan today?
