There is more than one way for me to share my opinions and recommendations with the government. The annual report paints a picture of the situation. In recent years, we were very busy dealing with the pandemic emergency. Many opinions have been shared on that. If memory serves me, in my most recent report, I did indeed recommend increasing support for research to better prepare for all kinds of emergencies, be it another pandemic or something else. I certainly did not highlight one thing over another.
As I mentioned, I believe that it's essential to remember that 75% of students receive the equivalent of a scholarship through research funding and not directly through scholarships. Fixing this problem for less than 25% of graduate students does not adequately resolve the issue.
