Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
I'm going to ask my questions of Mr. Hébert.
I come from Vancouver Island, where access to health care is a real challenge, so I was happy to hear you talk about outcomes because that is all that matters to us.
Our tertiary hospital often isn't staffed like one, so many residents have to travel significant distances to get specialized care. Our local university, Vancouver Island University, is a small regional institution that is working to build research capacity but doesn't have the scale of the large research universities.
With that context in mind, what I'd like to ask you about is the demand for CIHR funding and how it's distributed across institutions. From your most recent grant competitions, can you talk to me a little bit about your success rates and how that has worked over time in terms of the applications you get versus grants actually funded?
