Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Nantel, you talked about the importance of your organization in terms of research. I'd like to hear more about the geographical aspect. We know that most colleges and CEGEPs are close to the population. According to the data we have, 95% of the population is close to a college. So people living in rural areas also have access to these educational establishments.
I'd like to hear more from you about the role you can play and the greater recognition you could get so that there's greater equity in funding. This would enable you to meet a great need and serve a large part of the population.
