Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for coming today. I appreciate that.
Mr. Vats, I'll start off with you.
You paint a pretty picture, it seems, of how well our grad students are doing, yet that's not what they're telling us. I'm really concerned about their mental state. You mentioned they can borrow even more money, so potentially they're worried about the finances. They're not making much money, plus they're going deeper into debt.
What kind of quality of research do you think they're doing when their minds are on finances versus actually on the research itself?
