Thank you.
Thank you to Dr. Nemer for being here today. It's always good to have you before this committee.
You emphasized in your opening remarks that there are two or more ways that graduate students receive funding for their work. One is the direct scholarships and fellowships that the tri-councils provide, and the other, the majority, is from the principal investigators themselves or perhaps the department.
To what extent do you think that those scholarships from the tri-councils, which have been stagnant for more than 20 years...? You gave the example of the math student who's living below the poverty line. To what extent do you feel that those values set the standard for the other ways that students are paid?
