Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I find it a bit ironic that my Conservative colleagues are concerned about the price of food in northern communities, given that it was they, when they formed the government, who eliminated the program that subsidized the transportation of food in these communities, even though it's transportation that represents the bulk of the cost of food there.
Mr. Nantel, in your presentation, you talked about improving equity in access to federal research funding. What exactly do you mean by this notion?
