Finance committee  No, you said it best.

Finance committee  Yes. We received only $203,000 in 2016-17.

Finance committee  Our fourth recommendation urges the government to further encourage private, public and non-profit organizations that want to support research and innovation. As we know, most of the businesses, over 95%, that make up the industrial fabric of Quebec and Canada are micro-businesses or small and medium-sized businesses.

Finance committee  My name is Robert Poulin, and I'm an administrator for the same association. Our second recommendation has to do with indirect costs. For colleges, that means expenditures that were not associated with one project in particular. Such expenditures include the cost of managing and administering research activities, research facilities, research resources, and the regulatory requirements and standards that colleges must meet in order to be eligible for the various programs offered by the three councils.
