Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to begin by thanking the witnesses who are joining us today for this important study.
I know we will stop hearing from witnesses very soon, but I would like to point out an important element concerning mental health. We are talking about keeping our students in the centres. We know that money is an important issue, but I would like to talk to you about mental health.
I will go to Mr. Fotang.
In 2018, two years before COVID‑19, the Quebec Student Union carried out a large study with 24,000 university students titled “What's Behind the Mask”. That study showed that 58% of university students were experiencing a high level of psychological distress.
Do you think the contracts of that study with 24,000 students apply to students from across Canada?
Do you have any comparable data?
