Thank you. I appreciate that.
The tri-council agencies have requested additional funding to support growth across the country in a variety of areas. There is no doubt that the competition is severe, whether you're talking about NSERC, CIHR or SSHRC, for example, across the entire country.
Yes, an investment, I think, would be very much appreciated, once again to grow talent across the country, because that's what is producing the ideas we're going need to help build our very productive future and to support our aspirations for the various industries across the country. Therefore, an investment in talent and an investment in funding for research would benefit all Canadians.
