Thank you, Madam Chair.
I first want to welcome the witnesses who are with us today.
My first questions are for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith, in the Chief Science Advisor's annual report, she cited a rather major problem concerning Canada's megascience infrastructure. She referred to “considerable complexity and heterogeneity in the government's approach to support these major research facilities.” She also talked about a lack of “formal coordination among the multiple organizations who fund and operate them.”
Based on your experience, do you observe the same things?
