I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 75 of the Standing Committee on Science and Research. Today's meeting is taking place in hybrid format, but everybody is here in person. It's great to see that.
You can choose the official language of your choice, of course, on the device in front of you. Do keep the earphone away from the microphone so that our interpreters don't receive the feedback that causes injuries to their hearing. As well, direct your comments through the chair.
It's now my pleasure to welcome, from the Office of the Chief Science Advisor, Dr. Mona Nemer, chief science advisor of Canada, as well as Dr. Geneviève Tanguay, vice-chief science advisor of Canada.
It's tremendous to have some time with you today to have a discussion on Canada's science. Within our committee, of course, that's where our focus is every week, so it will be great to hear from you.
Dr. Nemer, you have five minutes to get us started.
