Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank Mr. Collins for asking the question earlier, and Mr. Lobb for his openness.
I want to respond to what Mr. Lauzon is saying. There are implications. According to information published on the CBC website on independent funding, 98% of the total funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research goes to research in English. The figure is 81% for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and 96% for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. This strong bias on the part of independent bodies has a very significant impact. The link can be made to initiatives such as Bill C‑13 and its impact on the funding of English-language advocacy organizations in Quebec. This is a step backwards for the French language, and I absolutely cannot support it.
I'd like to hear from you on the issue of the psychological health of your members and underfunding. What impact does underfunding have on your members?
