Understanding our priorities

Canada’s competitive advantage depends on the talent we attract, the research we mobilize and the infrastructure we build. Universities are essential partners in all three. Now is the time for the federal government to work with universities to strengthen Canada’s workforce, accelerate research into impact and build the resilient institutions our future depends on.
