Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to all the witnesses who have appeared today. Your presentations were very relevant.
I would like to acknowledge YWCA Canada's fine work and recommendations. Ms. Roy, thank you very much for your presentation, it was very interesting.
I also acknowledge Martha Friendly's long career. I met her in the early 1990s. While I was working with Pierre Pettigrew, we discussed a number of files she was sponsoring at the time.
Ms. Friendly, thank you once again for your important work.
I'll start with you, Mr. Agnew. Two days ago, when we were in Quebec City, the Association pour la recherche au collégial made a presentation and submitted recommendations very similar to yours. However, they did raise an issue that you did not mention in your presentation and I would like to hear what you have to say about that. I'm talking about the indirect costs of college research.
Your sector is faced with a great challenge. It receives grants to do research. I agree that the $40 million would be an excellent contribution. However, given the amounts already allocated to Seneca College, which is a large college, how will you deal with the lack of funding to cover the indirect costs of research?
