As far as the total bill is concerned, I don't have a clear idea of the figure. I spoke to you earlier about the adjustment of the value of the scholarships that have been awarded for 20 or 25 years in Quebec and in Canada.
There is a tool from the Bank of Canada that is very simple to use. It allows you to calculate the value in today's dollars of a sum of money at a given time. So I would invite all of you to visit this website. It is very interesting. For example, $20,000 in 2000 is worth almost $35,000 today.
I think your three granting councils already have simulations, I presume. It would be interesting to ask them what scenarios they have in mind to increase the value of the awards to reflect the needs of graduate students in Canada.
