Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I''d like to make the best possible use of my time. I'll begin with Ms. Adam and then move on to Ms. Vinet-Roy.
Ms. Adam, I'll begin by congratulating you.The Université de l'Ontario français has finally become a reality. When you last appeared before our committee, or at least at one of your recent appearances, we were at a critical phase and you emphasized the importance of this university. We are delighted about the outcome, and about the fact that the solution for the funding was worked out by the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
We're talking about money, of course, which is crucial. You and Mr. Prud'homme both mentioned that stable permanent federal funding was required rather than one-time funding.
I also heard you mention startup and permanent funding. There are also infrastructures, which are important to universities, particularly for a new institution. I'd like to hear from you on that score.
How do you see this permanent contribution by the federal government, particularly as it relates to the Université de l'Ontario français?
