Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for their presentations.

I'll go to Ms. Montreuil first.

You say that French-language research is on the decline in Canada. We agree on that. Do you think that decline is linked to university funding?

For example, outside Quebec, there's the Université de l'Ontario français, which is new. Generally speaking, there are very few francophone universities relative to the demographic weight of francophones. Do you think that's linked to the decline of French-language research in Canada?
