Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome the witnesses who have joined us today for this important study.
Ms. Wagner, from Thompson Rivers University, your colleague from the University of Calgary said earlier that the issue wasn't necessarily the distribution of funding, but rather underfunding. In our latest study, we learned that 79% of funding goes to Canada's 15 largest universities. I would like to hear your thoughts on this information.
As a representative of a university that isn't one of the 15 largest in Canada, do you think that equity and access to funding for small and medium‑sized universities constitute a real issue?
