Indeed, the people are at the core of what we do, and it's very important to provide adequate support for the trainees. We're talking about undergraduates, graduates and post-docs. Keeping the stipends and the rates competitive is certainly something that is important for us to do. Canada has to invest in its young people. In keeping track of how things develop over time, the erosion through cost-of-living increases is something which indeed has been brought to our attention by groups of students, and some researchers too.
It's an issue that we face, but I think every country faces that, because there's a worldwide competition for talent. It's not enough to say that Canada is a great country to live in. We have to put resources on the table to attract the best students, from India, Pakistan and Africa. It's very important that we offer competitive stipends to adequately support our students.
Now, usually it's a combination of resources that are used. It could be funding from the agencies. There can be teaching assistantships and other sources. However, I think all of us recognize that this is a stress point for our system.
