Thank you very much.
I thank the committee members for giving me this opportunity to present my recommendations.
The first recommendation concerns the importance for Canada, as a global leader, to develop people's appreciation for science culture from an early age. This is not just a matter of science or education, it is also a matter of society. So an appreciation for science culture and science research must be nurtured.
The second recommendation is about the fact that we cannot resolve this alone and that we need domestic and international partnerships. Those are sometimes risky, but we need them.
The third recommendation is about the importance of helping researchers do their job and of simplifying the process to foster the emergence of new talent without drowning them in procedures. This recommendation may also answer Mr. Baldinelli's question on ways to facilitate the work. The quantity of processes, procedures and documents is tremendous, and that requires a lot of work.
We have actually seen the limitations of the interconnected world we are living in. We need a Canada that is aware of its limitations, but that assumes a leadership role in science, research and innovation.
For instance, certain countries are investing in semiconductor production. That is an area where innovation possibilities are still numerous. Canada can play a very important role in innovations related to, for example, computer tools and semiconductors thanks to photonics and quantum computing.
