Welcome to number 49 of the Standing Committee on Science and Research.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room, and we also have members remotely using the Zoom application. We have a witness on Zoom, as well, today.
I have a few comments regarding Zoom. To choose your interpretation, you have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of floor, English or French. Mute yourself unless you're speaking. When you are speaking, speak through the chair. That goes for everybody, please.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i), and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, the committee commences its study of the Government of Canada’s graduate scholarship and post-doctoral fellowship programs.
It's now my pleasure to welcome our witnesses today. Thank you for coming and preparing for today's discussion.
First of all, in the room, we have Colin Colterjohn, Ph.D. candidate from McMaster University. From Support Our Science in Winnipeg, we have Marc Johnson, chair of the board.
Each of you will have five minutes to give us your remarks, after which we'll go to the rounds of questioning. I'll start signalling you, when we're at time.
We'll start off with Colin Colterjohn from McMaster.
