Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses here tonight.
My question is for Mr. Miller.
In an op-ed titled “Talent could be Canada's missing link in nation-building”, published in iPolitics on October 16, you state, “Years of sudden policy shifts and constrained funding have eroded public confidence, driven up costs, and made it harder for universities to deliver the skilled graduates Canada needs.”
During this study, I have often heard that many Canadian academics end up seeking opportunities south of the border due to a lack of innovation and investment happening here in Canada. Is this a concern, especially given existing barriers to delivering the skilled graduates Canada needs?
