I think you would find that Guelph probably does receive the bulk of agricultural research funding, right up there with Alberta and Saskatchewan, in terms of funding dollars for agricultural research.
The U15 group, in my understanding—it predates me, as a university executive—was formed in 2012 in order to bring views of common interest across research-intensive universities to the government.
I would think we would all recognize that there are many research-intensive universities that aren't necessarily part of the U15. We see Sherbrooke, Guelph, Concordia, Memorial and lots of other universities in that category. They are all research-intensive universities as well, based on their infrastructure.
At some point—I think my colleague, Dena, mentioned this very well—sometimes it's a size issue. We're the smallest of the U15 universities and certainly some on the non-U15 group are even a bit bigger than us, student-body-wise.
The research intensity, I think, deals with how you prioritize within the university and within your operating budget. I do think sometimes that the smaller universities don't have the capacity to apply for really large-scale grants.
I'll give you an example. We're all looking at Horizon Europe. Dalhousie wouldn't consider leading a Horizon Europe application. We'll partner, but we don't have the size or the infrastructure to lead that.
We might see U of T or UBC do something like that, but we wouldn't see another university in Canada have the capacity to do that.
