Thank you, Chair.
Before I begin with questions, I have a quick comment on important business. On February 27, the chief science adviser, Dr. Mona Nemer, appeared before our committee to discuss the important work her office is doing. During her appearance, several written responses to questions were requested by members of this committee, including from the Conservatives, the Bloc and the Liberals.
Dr. Nemer later committed to providing these responses by May 10, giving her ample time—over two months—to respond. It is now May 21 and we still have not received the responses. This delay is concerning, as one of the core mandates of this committee is to review the work of the chief science adviser. The lack of timely responses undermines our ability to fulfill this mandate effectively.
I firmly request that the chair and the clerk follow up once again with Dr. Nemer to ensure these responses are produced in a timely manner, preferably this week. It is important that our questions are answered so that we can continue the vital work with the necessary information.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
