Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to talk more about equity, diversity and inclusion.
A Radio‑Canada report on May 3 indicated that 95% of funding from the three granting councils had been awarded to scientific research projects for which the applications had been written in English. I'd like the chief science advisor to give us her opinion on that.
Did the three granting agencies apply the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion?
Does the chief science advisor recognize the importance of writing funding applications in French and having scientific publications in French?
How does she explain the fact that 95% of the $8 billion in research funding awarded between 2019 and 2022 went to applications written solely in English? I'd like the chief science advisor to share her opinion on that.
