I will speak to this question partly from having been a federal government-funded student who went to the U.S. to do my Ph.D. and came back. I was also a federally funded undergraduate student in research who, first of all, went to industry before going back to graduate school.
What's important is really enabling our youth to follow those questions they might have thought about when they were younger. They suddenly get into an institution where they have an opportunity to follow some of those questions. It's not that they will necessarily become the Nobel laureate, but they will become individuals who think about problems critically, who have an opportunity to understand how to take various sources of information, trade them off against each other and understand what might be actual reality in the information they're being presented with. They will be able to really take that forward to industry, to not-for-profit and into government service and use that questioning mind they've developed through these research projects to help further our entire society.
I think it all starts at the beginning. Dr. Quirion mentioned going into primary schools. That kind of funding of outreach to schools, our science facilities and our museums are always to ignite in our youth, who are our future of Canada, that opportunity to know that they can learn new things that they can take into actually changing the course of how people live and work.
I think we have lost sight of the need to start that pipeline and fund our students.
