I thank all the guests for coming before the committee. I will start by asking Mr. Jones a question. The heads of Bill say the objective is to promote research across all disciplines. Mr. Jones has identified in his opening statement that one of his concerns is that there has to be a need for parity of esteem between disciplines. Does he have a concern that certain disciplines such as arts and humanities, the creative arts and history will be at a disadvantage, because of the economic demands of the sciences?
