Yes. The three councils, and I include the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, are making great efforts to put in place programs to encourage the development of careers for women in science, in research and in human sciences.
The issue is not necessarily about support at the beginning. We put our emphasis there in the past and we succeeded in making changes. In health research, the trend in recent years has really changed.
The number of women pursuing advanced studies has greatly increased. However, what we are noticing is that we have moved the problem to the middle stage, that is, beginning researchers making the transition into an established career. We still need to put mechanisms in place and they need a lot of involvement on the part of universities and institutions. The problem is not just in continuing to support research, which is a determining factor in a career path, but universities have to recognize that women need certain accommodations in order to pursue their career paths.
