Welcome to meeting number 82 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Therefore, members are attending in person, in the room and remotely using Zoom. Both of our witnesses are here virtually today. For those participating virtually, there are a few rules. You can ask to speak in the official language of your choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting. You have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of floor, French or English. If interpretation is lost, please notify me right away and we'll suspend until we can get the interpretation services restored. For members participating in person, proceed as you usually would when the whole meeting is in person. . Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. For those in the room, your mic will be controlled as normal by the proceedings and verification officer. As always, try to make sure your earpiece doesn't come close to your microphone so that we don't create feedback in the earpiece and cause hearing damage to the interpreters as well as to the members who are participating here. All comments should come through the chair, please. Please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your mic should be on mute. With regard to the speaking list, the clerk and I will do our best to maintain a consolidated order of speaking for all members, whether they are participating virtually or in person. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i) and the motions adopted by the committee on Tuesday, January 30, and Thursday, February 15, 2024, the committee resumes its study of the distribution of federal government funding among Canada's post-secondary institutions. It's my pleasure now to welcome, from Dalhousie University, Dr. Alice Aiken, vice-president of research and innovation; as well as, from the University of Lethbridge, Dr. Dena McMartin, vice-president of research. You each have five minutes for your opening statement. We'll start with Dr. Aiken, from Dalhousie, please.
