Well, I would like to thank the Government of Canada, because during the pandemic specific supports were provided to the research environment where we were able to continue to fund especially graduate students and post-docs, and also to start up research infrastructure again after the pandemic allowed institutions to begin to open a little bit more.
I think ensuring that there is some long-term, fundamental base funding that allows us to keep our large infrastructure running, whether it's at a university or a college or a government lab, is really important. For many of these kinds of facilities, you cannot just turn them off and then start again. You really need to keep things flowing on a regular basis.
We need to ensure that our youth really are continually engaged in these endeavours. We need to ensure that they have access to funding for student summer programs, and that if they start a master's program, they can finish that program. They'll have that funding, which is really important to enable engaging them and allowing them to increase their skills at a time when we know that this is all about having advanced technology to in part deal with a crisis, whether it's conflict, whether it's the climate or whether it's the pandemic. The ways in which we're finding out how to get out of these situations are often through advanced technologies, but they also have to come with that social science lens of research.
