Absolutely.
We're talking a lot about Canada's research ecosystem. Today, the focus is on scholarships and fellowships for graduate students and post-docs. We're also talking about basic research funding, research funding through the tri-council agencies, to ensure that our members, in many cases, are able to hire graduate students at fair wages on stipends to help conduct their research. That's a big part of the research ecosystem.
Beyond the research ecosystem, we have a bit of a general post-secondary ecosystem. That's where, of course, there can be increased funding, and ought to be increased funding, for things like the Canada social transfer, which is currently how we provide operating funds federally to our post-secondary institutions. We'd like to see dedicated funding to our sector, not unlike the Canada health transfer, dedicated funding beyond the Canada social transfer for operational funds, and, of course, an expansion of student grant programs generally to help with things like tuition fees.
To the point about housing, again, it's things like acting on some of the things outlined in the national housing strategy and ensuring the specific needs of students are being met around shorter-term rentals in the oftentimes very high-rent areas associated with colleges and universities.
I think it is an issue that requires a multipronged approach, tackling it from multiple different angles. Ultimately, it's about cost of living beyond just the need for driving innovation and research.
