Members speaking

Before the committee

Richard Cannings NDP South Okanagan—West Kootenay, BC

Thanks to you both.

I'll leave it there.

The Chair Liberal Lloyd Longfield

You read my mind. On the last one, I was thinking of early-stage researchers and equity around that, because we know that's an under-represented group as well. The ones that get funded tend to be the ones that get funded, but the early-stage ones quite often are overlooked.

Thank you for a very engaging discussion, Dr. Airini and Dr. Johnson, and for your participation in this study on the long-term impacts of pay gaps experienced by different genders and equity-seeking groups. If there's any more information that can help inform us, I think one of the great values of this committee is to be able to bring these discussions together so that other universities can also see what it is we're talking about. Of course, they could also submit comments and briefs.

We will be meeting on Wednesday, September 27, to resume both these studies. As a quick reminder, there is advocacy on the Hill right now. The Support Our Science group is meeting at 306 Valour until seven o'clock. They would like to see people who are interested in science, if you have time.

Apart from that, I'm looking for adjournment.

Maxime Blanchette-Joncas Bloc Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC

I so move.

The Chair Liberal Lloyd Longfield

Thank you, Maxime.

Thank you, everybody, for a great meeting. We'll see you on Wednesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
