Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing this evening.
I want to start with the whole issue of post-secondary institutions in terms of what they're doing. I think we've heard some evidence tonight in terms of what the provinces are doing. In some instances examples have been given outside of the province of Quebec. We've heard some challenges in terms of the universities—and probably the colleges as well—with regard to the granting agencies.
I'm hoping to get recommendations that focus on a strategy where all of those stakeholders address the same issue with a strategy that will address the problems that have been identified by all of the witnesses.
Professor Lamoureux, can I start with you first? What needs to happen in the post-secondary institution area? Of course, that involves the provinces and then, with the federal government, how do we jell all of those together with a strategy that starts to tackle some of the trust issues that have been identified by Mr. Perreault and some of the other issues that the witnesses have raised here this evening?
