You're right, but it was seconds, not weeks, Minister.
I'm talking about the value of graduate scholarships awarded by the federal government. Their value has not gone up for 20 years, and it's had serious consequences, Minister.
As a result, Canada is the only G7 country that has lost researchers since 2016. Students are now living below the poverty line. Under the Canada graduate scholarship program, a master's level student receives $17,500 and a Ph.D. student receives $22,500.
I'm trying to figure out where the roadblock is. There is a consensus across the science ecosystem and among university officials.
What can you tell us? Are you going to do anything about it?
