Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Ms. Bouffard, as the president of Université de Saint‑Boniface, you are well known and highly respected in Manitoba.
The purpose of the committee's study is to provide the federal government with clear recommendations. We know that the Association des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne, or ACUFC, talked about how francophone educational institutions need stable, predictable and adequate funding. The association referred to the $80 million it had asked the federal government for in 2021. We have yet to see the federal government make such an investment, however.
Université de Saint‑Boniface is part of the ACUFC, so can you talk about what that $80 million would mean for your university? What would stable, predictable and adequate funding mean for you?
