Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I move:

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i), the Standing Committee on Science and Research conduct a study on the balance of federal government funding among Canada's universities, and more specifically on the concentration of funding among U15 member universities in comparison with small and medium-sized universities; that the committee devote at least 12 hours to the study and that the committee report its findings to the House.

The Chair Liberal Lloyd Longfield

Thank you. That's succinct.

That's a notice of motion. We'll pick that up next time we're doing some committee business and see what we can do with that.

Thank you so much to the witnesses. I wish we had more time, but it's the structure that we're working under. If you have more information, please do send it to us. I apologize for the shortness of this meeting.

With that, the meeting is adjourned.
