Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the witnesses joining us this evening.
My first question is for Ms. Amyot, from Colleges and Institutes Canada.
Ms. Amyot, what a pleasure it is to see you again and to have the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you for being here.
I read the recommendations in your brief to the Standing Committee on Finance as part of the committee's pre-budget consultations. I was especially struck by the funding request in recommendation four, a permanent and recurrent investment of $40 million per year in “college applied research capacity”.
Can you elaborate on that recommendation?
