It is deeply troubling because we see this government ignoring evidence in a wide range of public policy areas including census data collection, correctional policy, privacy & internet surveillance, the gun registry, tar sands expansion, to name just a few. Canadians have taken for granted the place of public science in our policy making, and need to understand there is a deliberate campaign underway to keep this from us. This is a deeply troubling development. Thanks for your work. I want to thank you sincerely for continuing to raise this issue with Canadians, it must reach many more.

Unfortunately, we can expect much more of the same from Stephen Harper now that he has a majority. We need to be worried.

As head of the Committee that took a leap and hired someone whose degree explored the exploits of Viking Warrior Women I too enjoyed working with Kristina over the years and know how hard she worked to make things happen. Welcome to the position Janice and very best of luck. A fitting grace note of your own Tim.
