Thank you, Mr. Davidson.
You set the stage very well in your presentation earlier and you explained the data. For several months now, I have been explaining this to my colleagues and members of the government in an attempt to change the situation. I talk to people about that.
You represent 97 universities in Canada. I would like you to clearly explain the consequences of the government's inaction. You mentioned it, and I will say it again: Canada is the only G7 country that has lost researchers since 2016. It is the only country in the entire G7 that is reducing its investments relative to its gross domestic product. This is no trivial matter. I would like you to explain to the people watching us, to the members of Parliament and to my colleagues here, what the consequences are for the scientific ecosystem and, of course, for the academic institutions you represent.
