Thank you very much for your question.
Yes, that's an interesting subject. I would remind you that, in Canada, we have the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, or NSERC, whose funding model is different from that of other funding agencies in Canada and elsewhere in the world.
Essentially, NSERC funds a much higher proportion of researchers than other funding agencies. Obviously, the amounts allocated are lower, but they still allow a professor to have, for example, a small team made up of a postdoctoral fellow and a doctoral candidate. You could say that NSERC provides a financial base for scientists.
If we want to provide a minimum amount of funding, the way NSERC operates gives us a model. So there are examples out there that work well.
