Thank you.
With respect to the coordination among the funding for the new talent we're seeking to attract, infrastructure and immigration, I'd say the way that the impact+ research chairs program has been set up actually provides funding for both the chair and the chair's team, as well as for the research infrastructure that would be required for a chair to successfully develop their research here in Canada. Part of that effort is to make sure that the research connects effectively to the receptors of knowledge in industry and civil society. The infrastructure funding is a streamlined process for applying for the chair funding and the research funding.
With respect to immigration, we've been working very closely with the immigration department to make sure there is a dedicated channel for chairs and their families to come to Canada and to expedite their immigration pathway to the extent possible. The package put together of research support in a very strong research ecosystem, the infrastructure they need to hit the ground running and the ability to be brought into the country quickly is, we believe, very attractive to some of the top research minds. They can not only contribute to training the next generation of talent, but also connect what they do to the Canadian economy.
