Now I will turn to the representatives of Polytechnics Canada.
You say that 1.7% of research and development funding goes to polytechnics and colleges and you are asking for that percentage to be doubled.
I would like to know what that 1.7% is based on. Was that figure established by the government? Is that all you manage to get because you have to compete with the universities? Where does 1.7% come from?
Could you be more clear so that we can go ahead and possibly make a recommendation?
