I remember going to Carleton University here in Ottawa about 25 years ago. We had a food bank on campus that I had to regularly use as well. It is not uncommon for students who are struggling to go to university.
It's great to have the witnesses here. Thank you for that. I really appreciate your testimony and the expertise you're providing for this study.
Given the fact that Dalhousie is one of the members of the U15, I want to ask a couple of targeted questions around how the U15 schools may operate as anchor institutions that may actually help increase the capacity to do research among other universities.
I just want to see if Dalhousie plays that role in helping, partnering and collaborating with other institutions to perhaps supplement their capacity to do research in key areas.
