Thank you, Chair. Thank you to our witnesses.
I want to start with Dr. Strong.
I was able to get up to PEARL in 2019. I saw the research going on there and the number of universities that are involved, the University of Toronto being the lead of nine, as I think you mentioned.
It seems like PEARL has gone from NSERC grant to NSERC grant. It is doing longitudinal studies that are giving us changes over time in the atmosphere, now picking up on forest fire implications, looking at droughts and floods and atmospheric conditions that are changing in terms of moisture in the atmosphere. It is really important work that seems to be reliant on short-term funding, and now you're in a precarious situation.
What's your current ask to try to keep the doors open?
