The Université du Québec network is concerned about the decline of French in Canada. In the scientific field, that decline is indeed pronounced. We hope that the panel will be able to meet with us and talk to us, so that our ideas can be more present and so that we can better position ourselves and make ourselves known.
We welcomed the creation of this panel, and we hope that we will be able to make our voice heard through the representatives who are part of it right now. Research in French is important, and, I repeat, the Université du Québec network is, as you said, the largest university network in the country, from coast to coast to coast.
There are 100,000 students attending universities in our network, and the number of professors and researchers far exceeds that of all universities in the country. So we have an important role to play.
