Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for being here.
As we know that there can be no research without researchers, I would like to put my first question to Mr. Best. In your brief, you told us that, with all the advanced degree-holders in the workforce who will be retiring, there will be a huge demand for renewal. On the other hand, you tell us that the OECD indicates that, compared to other countries, Canada is significantly behind when it comes to people holding doctorates.
My question is: what solutions do you have? I would also ask the other participants if this situation has repercussions for their organizations. Do we, for example, have to go and look for researchers overseas, or do we have enough in Canada to meet our needs?
