Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
My question is for Dr. Strong.
You mentioned today in your testimony that PEARL is running out of money. It's a bit heartbreaking to hear, because PEARL plays such an important role in bringing researchers together in an important facility that is widely regarded as important and crucial to producing knowledge around climate change, the atmosphere, pollutants and how they interact with the environment.
In terms of funding, I know you've had moments in the past and in your history, since being formed in 2005, when you have been financially challenged.
My question for you is twofold. Can you shed some light in terms of helping us understand how you have been funded? Second, what does sustainable long-term funding look like?
