Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank you, panellists, for coming this afternoon and talking to us.
I really want to focus my question on two individuals, and Mr. Lalande, you're first.
In our 2007 budget, we also agree with you that there needs to be a focus on graduate students. That has been discussed, not only in our budget but in our throne speech. Last year in the 2007 budget we added $35 million over two years to give to the granting councils for the Canadian graduate scholarships. I think it's about $17,000 for a master's student over three years, and for a PhD student it's about $35,000. Just so I'm clear, students in the fine province of Quebec--I know you're representing Quebec--are entitled to apply for those grants. Do you know if a lot of Quebec graduate students use that program?
