In the course of the study, we have already heard a number of suggestions, which I think might assist both of you, about the concept of blinding the initial proposal application made to one of the tri-agencies in terms of who the professor involved is, the researcher, the number of papers published and any identifying characteristics so that the proposal would be looked at as objectively as possible, as well as the originality of the idea and potentially the research capacity of the team.
Have you followed our deliberations in this committee?
I'll start with you, Professor Freeman. Does that merit-based review, strictly looking at the proposal itself and not necessarily the proponents, appeal to you?
