Richard Cannings NDP South Okanagan—West Kootenay, BC

Thank you.

My second question was going to be on the makeup of that council, but you answered that off the top. If you want to expand on it, in 20 seconds, I'd be happy to hear that.

Vice-President, Teaching and Research, Université du Québec

Céline Poncelin de Raucourt

I think these are things that other stakeholders have pointed out.

In choosing the organizations that will advise Canada, we will have to pay attention to the various universities and profiles of people who will be part of the strategies used in order to get diverse viewpoints, which will allow for research projects that are as varied as possible.

We have to make sure that organizations of different sizes and from different regions are represented on committees such as this one.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Lloyd Longfield

We've come to the end of our questioning.

My comment to both our witnesses would be on your excellent answers on very short notice, like zero, where we were able to get complex questions answered in a remarkable way.

Thank you for providing your excellent testimony, Vincent Larivière and Céline Poncelin de Raucourt. Again, if you have anything in writing that can help our study, it would be appreciated. Members are doing a great job of getting us the information for the analysts through you.

We have come to the end of the eighth hour of this 12-hour study. We have two more meetings coming up when we return from our constituencies in the coming weeks and we'll continue the study at that point.

Thank you, again, to the witnesses and to the members for this morning's session.

With that, we'll look for an adjournment motion and I see it.

The meeting is adjourned.
