Thank you, Madam Chair.

My question is for Mr. Hewitt.

I'd like to get a better sense of why the funding for the three granting agencies is broken down on a 40‑40‑20 basis. SSHRC has been receiving 15% less for the past 30 years.

Can you explain what the basis for the 40‑40‑20 breakdown is? Why does SSHRC receive 15% less when it comes to total available research funding?
