Thank you all for being here today.
Dr. Strickland, as Monsieur Blanchette-Joncas mentioned, it's an honour to have a Nobel Prize winner before us today.
You mentioned this proposed advisory council on science and innovation that was mentioned in the budget. You made some comments about the necessity of having scientists advise the government on the whole science and research ecosystem. According to the budget, the “Council will be made up of leaders from the academic, industry, and not-for-profit sectors”.
Can you comment further on what you think the make-up of that council should be and what its role would be in answering this and other questions that we're looking at today?
