Thank you, Dr. Michaud and Dr. Bell.
Madam Chair, I will move on to Mr. Deschênes.
It must be incredibly difficult to attract top talent in terms of professors, as well as students, to a rural area. I look back to my own university days and I think most of the people I attended university with were more inclined to apply to large urban centres.
How have you overcome that issue? What can the government do to support enrolment numbers in small or mid-sized universities, specifically in those in rural areas?
