Thank you.
If you'd like to share some more details, I'm sure the committee would take those in a written format.
I'd like to put a question to all the witnesses. Again, thank you for being here.
Over previous meetings we've heard from a number of witnesses about the importance of the ecosystem—the foundation—and how it's critical to science and research innovation. We've also heard about the needs for greater harmonization, collaboration and coordination. We've heard from one witness as well about the notion of almost a one-stop shop to try to make it easier for the institutions.
From your perspective, what can the federal government do to reduce the challenges and some of the barriers that you may be facing not only as a college, but as a university, in trying to secure those grants and to support that critical work you're doing?
Mr. Nantel, I'll start with you and then we'll go to the other witnesses real quick.
