Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to move to Dr. Kerr. I was going to ask Dr. Kerr the scholarship question, because we've heard that from several witnesses already, and I think it's important. It's a policy the government really has to address. However, Ms. Gladu asked that question for me, so I'll move on to something else.
You mentioned citizen science. As you may know, that was a big part of my life before I became a politician. I was involved in building citizen science programs to tackle the question especially around bird population trend analysis and harnessing the expertise and enthusiasm of birders across the country. I had about 20,000 people working for me for nothing—people who knew more about birds than scientists do—true scientists, I guess.
I'm just wondering if you could expand on that, because I think citizen science is such an important part of research in Canada, and this study may be the only place it gets mentioned, so I'd really like to hear more about what you feel about citizen science and where it could lead us.
