Science and Research committee  I'm sorry.

Science and Research committee  I can also turn the floor over to Ms. Lapointe-Gagnon. Everyone agrees that we need support both in and outside the federal government, that is to say in the institutions of the Canadian francophonie and at Canadian universities, to promote research in French and to demonstrate

Science and Research committee  What I would like is for you to pass Bill C‑13 as it stands. Some minor changes could always be made. I know that Acfas has proposed a minor amendment to the provision on research, but that's a detail. I think we're at the stage where you have to pass the bill.

Science and Research committee  Last I heard, French-language publications weren't even ranked. What's considered are publications in English and the journals in which they're published. There are also other criteria, such as awards won. A list is published in Maclean's magazine. There's also the Shanghai rank

Science and Research committee  Thank you very much for asking me that question and allowing me to complete my remarks. You're right in saying that this is a global phenomenon. The issue in Canada is similar to that in Switzerland and Belgium in that French is one of the official languages. Since we're in the

Science and Research committee  Yes, thank you very much. In 45 seconds, I can only encourage you to vote for Bill C‑13 because it will give public servants some flexibility to create a special program for research in French, which doesn't exist at Canadian Heritage, in particular, or at Innovation, Science an

Science and Research committee  No, there's no substantive equality. This is why Bill C‑13 is important: it's based particularly on the principle of substantive equality as the principle for interpreting language rights. Bill C‑13 contains a special provision on research in French and acknowledges that French i

Science and Research committee  I hope Bill C‑13 is passed. It could definitely use some minor improvements, but, in the present circumstances, the longer we delay passage, the less progress we'll make. By treading water, we're actually going backwards. I can't wait for this bill to be passed so officials can

Science and Research committee  I don't think translating our work into French constitutes plagiarism if we're applying for funding, for example. If I publish an article in French, I definitely wouldn't have it translated for publication in English. However, it would be interesting to set quotas for French-la

Science and Research committee  Yes, the journals normally receive funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. However, those journals aren't required to be truly bilingual to receive it. More effort has been made at certain times, but no longer now. That could be changed. For e

Science and Research committee  Thank you for your question, Mr. Tochor. It definitely echoes my recommendation that a specific support program be created for research in French. As we said, and as my colleague Éric Forgues indicated, we work at small universities where the research departments are, in some in

Science and Research committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you for inviting me to appear before you to present my thoughts and analyses on the theme of research and publication in French. I will mainly be presenting a few recommendations, but, first, I would like to say that I have been active in

Official Languages committee  Thank you very much for that question, Ms. Ashton. In many respects, it's related to the one you asked Ms. Chouinard. Part VII is clear. The term "positive measures" is clear and means any measure that can enhance the vitality of the linguistic minorities. Part VII must also be

Official Languages committee  I don't know exactly how you want me to answer you. First of all, this bill should be viewed as a compromise. It acknowledges that substantive equality is one of the principles that must guide the way language rights are interpreted. It recognizes the substantive equality of Eng

Official Languages committee  Thank you, but I won't be expanding on the subject. I'm going to give others an opportunity to ask questions.
