You say a number of initiatives exist, but researchers have told us that, if they don't publish in English, it's the end of the road. If they don't publish in English, their research grant application is more likely to be rejected.
The result is a real decline in the publication rate for French-language research in many scientific fields. I'm trying to figure out what NSERC can do to reverse that trend.
The government recognizes that French is in decline. This came up earlier. The French-language application rate is nearly 50% lower than the demographic weight of francophones.
The situation is serious, wouldn't you say?
