Mr. Chair, for sure, any help is welcome.
In an ideal world, the institutions would work collaboratively with different levels of government to address the issue. I can tell you, when I was the vice-president of research at the University of Ottawa, the issue of housing was top of mind. The issue of building residences was also problematic.
At the same time, the university couldn't subsidize the housing because of the legislation and policies from the Ontario government. I will just say that it may vary from one province to the other.
It's certainly one area that would help, but we don't want them having a roof—which would already be a good start—but then starving, because as you know and you've probably heard, the number of graduate students going to food banks has skyrocketed in an unbelievable way.
