Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have a number of questions for Mr. Patry, but first I would like to ask Ms. Walker for a clarification. I really like her idea for work-integrated learning. I would like to know whether she has connections with universities, colleges or CEGEPs in Quebec. She could provide this information to the committee clerk later on.
Mr. Patry, I know that U15 and all universities are very concerned about indirect research costs. Please tell us how investments in this area could improve the competitiveness of the Canadian economy.
