"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1629489\" data-originallang=\"fr\">To us, granting funding with strings attached is like telling the universities exactly what they have to develop. We do not believe that this will allow the universities to foster competitive knowledge on the world stage. Knowledge requires certain autonomy. We know that the government has granting agencies that fund certain areas of research. We think that is great. However, these agencies lack funding and we should not be telling them what to do. They should make their own choices. They have well-established boards of directors, even though there are not enough students on those boards. They are well established and able to make choices on research. It is not up to the government to decide on the research or to give directives on investments. The government should instead give universities the chance to conduct their research and develop new knowledge.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1629489\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Accorder le financement de fa\u00e7on directive, selon nous, revient \u00e0 dicter pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment aux universit\u00e9s quoi d\u00e9velopper. Nous ne croyons pas que c'est ainsi qu'on peut permettre aux universit\u00e9s de faire \u00e9clore un savoir concurrentiel sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Le savoir requiert une certaine autonomie. On sait que le gouvernement s'est dot\u00e9 d'organismes subventionnaires qui, eux, financent certains pans de la recherche. Nous jugeons que c'est tr\u00e8s bien. Toutefois, ces organismes manquent de financement et on ne devrait pas leur dicter les choix \u00e0 faire, mais plut\u00f4t les laisser choisir. Ils ont des conseils d'administration bien form\u00e9s, m\u00eame s'il manque malheureusement d'\u00e9tudiants sur ces conseils d'administration. Ils sont bien form\u00e9s et en mesure de faire les choix de recherches \u00e0 faire. Ce n'est pas au gouvernement de d\u00e9cider de la recherche ou de donner des directives sur les investissements. Le gouvernement doit plut\u00f4t donner la possibilit\u00e9 aux universit\u00e9s de faire leurs recherches et de d\u00e9velopper de nouveaux savoirs.</p>"
