Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister Champagne, for taking time out of your busy schedule to join our committee today. I know that you're extremely busy.
Thank you, also, to all of the other witnesses who are here with you today. It's very important.
Getting back to the area of talent, we know how important it is to have equity, diversity and inclusion at our post-secondary institutions and the representation of life experience in the research being produced.
Can you tell the committee about the measures your department and the government are taking to ensure that diversity is a key driver in Canadian research, for example, gender diversity and ethnic diversity?
