Thank you, Mr. Desilets.
Research gaps definitely exist, as they do in other fields. Canada isn't the biggest country in the world, so the pool we have to draw on for research can be very small in some areas. Even though Canada clearly has research gaps, that does not mean our counterparts in the United States, England, Australia and New Zealand do not have relevant experience we can leverage. I gave the example of our Five Eyes partners because we work together on so many initiatives.
I also want to stress the importance of carrying out targeted research. I mentioned women veterans, who suffer from different illnesses. Military service has different repercussions on women. There is little research on the repercussions of military service on women and other groups. The Department of Veterans Affairs needs to have access to quality data.
