Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will indeed be sharing my time with Ms. Lalonde.
Good afternoon, Mr. Bussières.
As you probably know, I hail from Kapuskasing. My mother graduated from Université de Hearst and Laurentian University; she was a social worker. We are very proud of that in my family. She was able to work from home. I fully understand how important small universities are in small communities, and Hearst is known as the Gallic village of Ontario.
I'd like you to talk about your small university and its resilience.
How did you make it through the difficult years?
In its 2020‑21 budget, the federal government announced an additional $121 million in support over the next two and a half years. What would that funding mean to you?
How would that investment help you?
