Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Broadbent, you talked about the added value of equity, diversity and inclusion criteria in relation to individuals. However, in the federal funding ecosystem, those criteria do not exist at the institutional level; the factors are not part of the funding criteria for research grants.
I would say the University of Ottawa is better off than small and medium-sized universities in the regions. The critical mass of those universities is a consideration. In some cases, the programs are too big for small and medium-sized universities to apply for funding.
I'd like to hear what you think about the fact that the institutional dimension isn't taken into account. Wouldn't you say that's a form of territorial inequity?
