Mr. Chair, I'm not aware of these internal conversations among the tri-council. They would have to answer this.
If I may, I would like to specify that the graduate students need to have an environment where they do their research, and they need to have support for that research. If they have the funding, but they don't have the means in terms of the tools and the material required, then they can't carry out their research project. There needs to be a balance in the system in terms of everything that's needed.
