We are a committee. We don't have the kind of authority that you're talking about, or the budget. We have a tiny secretariat that runs it. I think the idea is to do this in such a way that it's your job to work together. It's your job to deliver on these missions. It's not because this committee is putting you together to work together. It's a natural evolution. It's inspired, as I said, by the UKRI model.
There is confusion, as Dr. Vats talked about, when there's an international event and they come to Ottawa and want to meet with all of us. They'll say that in UKRI, there's a single person—the CEO. I know her. She's the symbol of the organization. She deals with the higher government. She deals with all those issues. Then the verticals go deep into the science. When they're needed, they're brought up to work on these bigger issues.
The trick is to do this without creating an extra-huge bureaucracy. I completely agree with you on the light touch and having this be like a conductor for these councils, with that interface with the government. That is very important. That board of directors will be critical, because it has to have true representativity.
