Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
I was a professor at the University of California, so I know about the relative differences in investments between Canada and the U.S.
Canada is desperately in need of increasing investment in research support for universities, whether that be to support the direct costs of research from the federal government.... The rates you referred to are actually quite accurate.
Those, what are referred to as, indirect costs are very important for universities across the country, as far as Universities Canada or U15 go to actually support the aspect of research security. We talked about cybersecurity, which is very important for protecting our information, and participating in those discussions.
Federal government funding to help the research security in those areas would be very much appreciated and would enable Canada to keep up on the international stage.
