Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses who are with us today.
My first question is for you, Ms. Licois and Ms. Déziel, from the network of college centres for the transfer of technologies, or CCTT. I would like us to address the notorious issue of structural inequity that penalizes Quebec and directly hinders its ability to innovate.
I want to talk more specifically about the funding that some technology access centres in Quebec receive through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, or NSERC. Their funding does not seem to be equivalent to the funding received by research centres outside Quebec. I would like you to explain that to me briefly.
