Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Boudreault, we spoke earlier about the Polar Continental Shelf Program. The chief scientific adviser, Ms. Mona Nemer, has published a report on this program and on the growth of northern research.
In the conclusion of the report, she states, among other things, that a more strategic and coordinated effort is needed to support scientific research in the North by strengthening scientific capacity and the role of local communities, increasing overall logistical support for scientific research, and channelling this increase on the basis of a shared long-term vision and well-established priorities. She also points to the need to provide the specialized support capacity required by new technologies. All these needs are well known.
To your knowledge, what has the federal government done, concretely, since the tabling of this report, to take action and follow the recommendations of its chief scientist?
