Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  Very supportive of applied learning opportunities, workplace opportunities, and also research and science opportunities.... To bring it back, what the Naylor report talked about was lost capacity, both for learners and for future research in science, in both the college and the university sectors, because of the lack of support for funding.

Finance committee  The fundamental science review looked at the appropriate balance, and they took an ecosystem approach. Applied, obviously, it has great value and brings a lot to the country, so what's the best ecosystem? How do you have everything thrive across the ecosystem? It talked about a ratio of investments in applied versus basic, a seventy-thirty ratio.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and honourable members. On behalf of the 70,000 academic staff members of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, I'd like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to focus in on our priority within our pre-budget submission today. With me is Karl Bélanger, a policy adviser with us at CAUT.
