Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
It's an honour to be a part of this committee, as I've been a student of science throughout my life. After doing my master's in civil engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, I applied for my Ph.D. as well, but I couldn't make it due to some time constraints.
My question is for Professor Gita Ljubicic. She's a professor at McMaster University, which is next to my riding.
I'm pleased to see the work you have been doing in the faculty of science. I'm curious to know whether you, based on your experience with the braiding project, have faced more or fewer issues regarding the funding for research around indigenous knowledge.
