Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is for the people from Acfas.
In your report entitled "A portrait of the challenges of French-language research in a minority context in Canada," you report that the success rate for applications in English was higher in the case of certain granting bodies, including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. It talks about a success rate of 38.5 per cent in English versus 29.2 per cent in French.
How do you explain that discrepancy? Are francophone researchers less intelligent than anglophone researchers?
