Thank you, Mr. Cannings.
I couldn't agree with you more around colleges being poised to be able to make federal policy or societal direction happen very quickly and actively.
As you highlighted, within our sustainable building management program, the line between learning and applied research becomes very blurred within a college environment, recognizing that at each turn, our students are looking to have a marked impact on the communities that they live in, whether that be on a dedicated research environment or in the community learning-type environments that they find within their classroom.
The instructors are equally ready to have that impact because they're looking for real-life experiences for our students, so that when they are done, they are effectively career and job ready.
I think that further investment of federal research dollars into that applied research, to enable a bit of a bleed between work-integrated learning and applied research for community impact, is a way that the federal government could find a very quick turn on some of its federal policies.
