Thank you, Mr. Chair. Through you, my question is directed to Mr. Colleret.
In a 2021 study, economist Pierre Fortin found that Quebec would have to invest an additional $1.4 billion per year in universities to bring the funding in line with that of other Canadian provinces. In light of reports that provinces underfunded their post-secondary institutions leading to an over-reliance on international student tuition, don't you think the recent federal changes to the international student program were a direct result of provinces not adequately addressing the needs of post-secondary institutions? Also, do you have other recommendations for the committee to consider, especially in light of Quebec's jurisdiction on immigration and the bill regarding international students?
