This is an essential question.
The continuity of science and research must indeed rest on new talents, from Canada, from here. When I say “here”, that includes people from all over who come live here.
It must be ensured, from the outset, that an appreciation for a university education is developed in young people. The Université du Québec en Outaouais plays that role through its mission and its foundation.
We work a lot with CEGEPs, colleges and schools to give young people an appreciation for not only earning a bachelor's degree, but also a master's degree and a Ph.D. We go to young people and explain to them the importance of doing that.
As we are present in a number of regions in Quebec, we are a really nice example of the collaboration that can be maintained.
