I am so proud to have a chance to contribute to Canadian higher education, and I think the research and innovation ecosystem we have built over the last 25 years has some very serious strengths that have proven to be even more important along the way than they were ever imagined to be. For example, earlier we were talking about the links that our universities have with surrounding communities and private, public and non-profit sectors. We've never, ever in Canada talked about ivory towers. I like the fact that we have such a strong public system. I like the fact that we have access to the top talent. We're able to do it.
We definitely need the policy changes that we've been working on. We need to do better in equity, diversity, inclusion and indigenization. There is a lot of policy work under way now that we've embarked on. We have a ways to go.
