Thank you for that, and thank you for highlighting this concentration of antibiotic research that's at McMaster, which I think is unique in the country.
To be perfectly honest, the way that happened was through the benefit of philanthropy. We, at McMaster, have benefited from families and individuals who have given to this area, understanding that it was underfunded, understanding that there was a research gap, and understanding that the talent and the solutions were actually here to be exploited. That has been game-changing for us.
The other part of this story that I think is worth putting on the table is the absolutely transformative effect that a Canadian program called the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the CFI, has had. The CFI is how we bring research infrastructure into our labs, into universities across Canada. We have benefited tremendously from that. My colleagues around the world are in envy of the CFI. I think it's important to recognize that we really want to maintain that, because it's been game-changing for us to be globally competitive in this field.
