I have one last comment or word of encouragement.
Last year we recognized that we had real potential to contribute to the federal public service renewal effort, in the sense that our graduates are such a huge proportion of the pool of potential recruits. As you know, we occupy about 60% of the university campuses, and so on. So we contacted the clerk and offered to help by ensuring there was better contact between the recruitment efforts of the federal government and our scholarship winners, fellowship winners, key researchers, and so on.
I can tell you about the details of those efforts. Just as an example, in the coming weeks, the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, which gathers together graduate students and researchers from across Canada and around the world, will be here in Ottawa, and the federal government will be present there in terms of recruiting students.
Given that the language question is at the very core of the humanities, our students are well equipped to meet that need. We are working hard to improve the recruitment process. Thus far, we note that the progress achieved in collaboration with our colleagues seems encouraging.
