Thank you, Mr. Mulcair.
Given its unique situation and its history, McGill University can play a unique role. It situation is unique because the main language of instruction is English and it is located within a francophone community in North America, where the dominant language is English. It was founded 190 years ago. The university has earned an international reputation that enables it to build bridges between Quebec and Canada on the one hand, and Quebec and other countries on the other. These bridges are built through research collaboration and student exchanges and can promote inter-sectoral collaboration, which is the subject of our third recommendation. My colleague spoke about it briefly.
