I cannot agree more.
Given that it's budget week this week, I cannot but ask this question.
I know you made a comment in your opening remarks about what we've seen in the budget: increases in the value of graduate scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships, which we've been studying in this committee since I came to Parliament, or for the last two years, anyway; major investments in strategic research infrastructure; and the creation of a new capstone research funding organization to help advance internationally collaborative, multidisciplinary and mission-driven research.
Can you tell us how these investments will impact the research ecosystem at Dalhousie and in Atlantic Canada?
