Science and Research committee  Thank you for your question. It's an excellent one. Our association represents francophone researchers across the country. I've often said that being a francophone researcher in a Quebec university is completely different from being a francophone researcher in an anglophone or bilingual university elsewhere, for example at a francophone campus like the University of Alberta's Campus Saint-Jean.

Science and Research committee  I'll make a start and you can then join in with further details. Some key numbers clearly show that access to research funding is inequitable certain institutions—the small and medium-sized universities—and for faculty. It's absolutely clear. Language, although not the only factor, contributes significantly to the unequal allocation of funding for research at small and medium-sized universities, and for francophone researchers.
