Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to return to today's topic of study, which is the concentration of research funding in Canada.
Mr. Cecil, I'll continue with you.
Would a rebalancing of research funding require us to stop making distinctions, particularly between colleges, CEGEPs, college technology transfer centres, as they are known in Quebec, or technology access centres in the rest of Canada, by comparing them to universities in terms of granting scholarships for certain programs where applied research is important, and by focusing more on the benefits for small and medium-sized businesses, and the local economy in particular?
