Madam Chair, I thank the member for his question.
Representation has to be ensured in various respects. First, there must be a balance between the regions and the cities, as the idea is for the capstone organization to respond to the entire research community in the country.
In terms of representativeness, I also talked about the French language. We have to make sure that French has an important place within the capstone organization so that the balance of research would be recognized.
Still regarding balance, we have to talk about research funding. That's another major issue. We know that, in 2021, U15 member institutions received 79% of all research funding in Canada, despite having 52% of the faculty and 59% of the graduate student population. It's important to ensure that balance.
