Science and Research committee  Sure. I can certainly take that. The inhaled vaccine really builds on the expertise that we have at McMaster in adenovirus-based technology. The adenovirus-based technology is actually McMaster's solution from many years ago. We also have deep expertise in mucosal immunity. This stems from past research in tuberculosis.

Science and Research committee  Our entire nexus project is around $400 million, but I'm actually going to let Gerry, who is the lead of nexus, talk about the unique ecosystem.

Science and Research committee  The question is on the Nexus ecosystem. The idea is to pull together, not just multidisciplinary across multiple universities, but across sectors within public health to have that coordination, so we understand what.... Something like a pandemic is a very complex problem and it requires complex solutions.

Science and Research committee  Thank you for your time.

Science and Research committee  Thank you, Madam Chair, and good evening and thank you, all, so much for the invitation. My colleague, Dr. Gerry Wright, a renowned infectious disease expert and lead of Canada's Global Nexus for Pandemics and Biological Threats, and I are so very pleased to be here and to talk about one of our passions, science and research in Canada.
