Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm going to try to get questions to all of you, but I have five minutes, so we'll see where we go from here.
Ms. Watts-Rynard, I really appreciate your bringing up polytechnics and the difference between how research entities measure university research compared with polytechnic research. Where I'm from, the polytechnic is Nova Scotia Community College. I appreciate your making the distinction about the criteria used and how these need to change.
MP Lobb used an example of research that can help move bricks and construct different things, and I think that's of value. I also think the humanities have value. However, I think they're apples and oranges. I'm not sure what the purpose is behind, for example, studying unpaid work by women in Bogotá, but I could take a guess if I drilled down deeper. It might be to do a comparison between Canada and Bogotá. That's just an assumption on my part. It might be to learn best practices. Again, I'm assuming, because I haven't drilled down on it.
However, I want to go back to the applied research side.
I think there's a huge sandbox for us in terms applied research. You talked about some of the recommendations, but I want to drill down.
What is the most important recommendation—and we'll have many—that you want to see when you open up our report as it relates to polytechnics getting important investment to help Canadians and—it's okay to say this—the world?
