Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome the witnesses who are with us for the second hour.
Mr. Nantel, we can see that Niagara College ranks first in research, according to the college rankings posted on the Research Infosource Inc. website. Your institution actually has a greater research capacity than some universities. However, despite your effectiveness, the fact that you aren't a university puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to research funding. I would like to hear your thoughts on how the current funding structure could be amended or improved so that you can further develop.
