Science and Research committee  Thank you for your question. I do not have a business plan for a national project like that. I am working from the experience in other countries and other organizations that publish. In Canada, the Translation Bureau could possibly do a feasibility study like that. We know that

Science and Research committee  Currently, impact factors are strongly disputed, especially when they are identified as impact factors for research whereas, in reality, they are visibility factors for a journal or a paper, based on the number of times a specific paper has been cited. What is needed today is a

Science and Research committee  Definitely. Canadian leadership needs to be reaffirmed and strengthened. International communities, francophone and non-francophone alike, are watching us closely and asking for our collaboration. I would even say that Canada has a role to play in order to help save French in so

Science and Research committee  Yes, indeed.

Science and Research committee  Thank you. In fact, many countries are already making a tremendous effort to get the sum total of knowledge available translated into their national language because those countries understand that these translations are needed for their citizens, their students and their resear

Science and Research committee  I would say that should absolutely be the case, but that is a personal opinion. I think there should definitely be translation from English to French.

Science and Research committee  I propose the publication of translations, but also financial support for researchers and institutions to get these publications translated or even written in the second language from the start, French in our case. I strongly suggest the translation and publication of original F

Science and Research committee  We have to assure researchers, research teams and applicants that their applications will be properly analyzed and evaluated. We had an example of this yesterday: the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada assured us this was the case. Some things are obviou

Science and Research committee  Thank you for your question, Ms. Bradford. Naturally, some disciplines are more represented in a given language, as confirmed by many studies on the matter. However, the reasons listed alone do not explain the predominance of one language such as English, for example.

Science and Research committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Members of the committee, let me thank your for your excellent work, which will have an impact on the Canada of the future. On behalf of the Université du Québec en Outaouais, I assure you of our full collaboration for the future of science and research i

Science and Research committee  Thank you. The problem of publishing in French has unfortunately always existed. Obviously, it is difficult to do less than zero. It is possible in terms of temperature, but not in the field of publishing. Of course, the situation is difficult. We can't say that everything is p

Science and Research committee  I thank you for the question. It's always possible, but it's difficult. It's still possible to do studies in French and it's still going to be done. It's a bit harder to publish, but the main thing to ask is what you're going to publish, why and for whom. If one wants to publish

Science and Research committee  The Université du Québec en Outaouais is the network's youngest university. It currently has about 6,000 students, most of whom are studying in Gatineau and in Saint‑Jérôme. The Institut des sciences de la forêt tempérée, an institute for temperate forest science, in Ripon, is mo

Science and Research committee  Of course, we do have connections.
