Mr. Chair, this is an excellent question.
Given that graduate programs.... A master's degree, for example, lasts two to three years. A Ph.D. is, on average, four. For postdocs, it's usually three, and more in some areas. Having a vision and framework for the medium term, and increasing both the value and the number of scholarships, would certainly be a welcome approach.
I also want to caution you that, while we're talking about scholarships.... I'll make sure everybody appreciates that there are two types: the ones given directly to individuals and the ones paid out of the grad projects, if you want—the researcher fund. If we address one without addressing the other, we cause quite a bit of stress and unbalance in the system. As a matter of fact, it would be highly inequitable, especially for vulnerable groups.
