Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Dr. Yu, you talked about the importance of research, funding it, and the quality of researchers, which really caught my attention. Just yesterday, in the House of Commons, the Bloc Québécois tabled a motion proposing an increase in scholarships awarded by the three agencies, meaning the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. In our view, this would improve diversity in the pool of researchers, who will one day become university professors, for example.
Do you think we should increase scholarships to enhance the value of the research profession, particularly for people from diverse backgrounds?
