Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much, Chantel, for coming this morning.
I want to commence by saying congratulations. For a master's, a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, I know a lot of sweat and tears and hard work have gone into that, so congratulations.
If I have time, I might ask you to tell us a bit more in terms of what you did.
We have heard about and we appreciate the fact that funding has to change and has to increase for both the graduate scholarships and the post-doc fellowships. We've heard a lot from the research community that this is definitely needed.
In your opinion, would we be looking at graduate scholarships? In what ways could increased funding from the federal government help? Do you have any recommendations based on your experience, either personally or from what others around you have said?
