Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Joomun, in our last study on the distribution of federal government funding among Canada's post-secondary institutions, which was tabled in the House today, and which I invite all of you to read, we found that the funding of francophone institutions has been inadequate, relative to the weight of their teaching staff, for the past 20 years.
In the claims you make, you emphasize how important it is to remove economic obstacles to access to higher education, more particularly in order to support research.
How could francophone students and researchers, particularly those from less favoured regions, benefit from a review of funding criteria, criteria that currently tend to favour large urban anglophone universities?
