You also said in your opening remarks that we have to make sure the provinces and territories invest in these institutions and target their funding more effectively. That was my understanding of what you said. As you know, provincial, territorial and federal jurisdictions are all involved.
I know you're here today as an individual. Your wealth of experience is valuable to us, and that's why I'm asking you this question. How can the federal government urge the provinces and territories to be realistic, serious and rigorous about their investments and to provide funding on an ongoing basis?
We agree with you, but what can we, as legislators, do to get to the effective agreements we need to achieve that?
