As Ms. Thompson clearly explained, we're doing the same thing. The results of our competitions are public. We publish statistics after all our competitions, along with the success rate.
Once again, our major problem is the success rate, which varies between 15% and 18%. This is due to the fact that money is tight everywhere and that's not fair to anyone. It's a challenge. There is equity, and the data is public; we can tell out who got money, it's quite clear, and we can also see what's happening over time.
Demand is becoming extremely high. Almost all our young researchers, over 70%, belong to a minority group. Our challenge is to reserve as much money as possible to ensure that our young researchers get funding. We have had some limited success in that regard. That said, among our young researchers, there's been a real increase in diversity, which is a far better reflection of Canada.
