Now we relay it to members of the ACSC and hope to get comments. The report indicates that Canadian Government, while continuing to respect academic freedom, has identified some priorities that will be taken into account when allocating resources through the various components of the Canadian studies program. The priority issues are: 1)       Peace and Security; 2）North America Partnership (including key Canada-US bilateral issues); 3) Economic Development and Competitiveness; 4) Democracy, rule of law, human rights; 5) Managing Diversity; and 6) Environment.The report points out that there is a need for a more focused and results-oriented approach in carrying out Canadian Studies programme, including: 1)       Carry out the programme more widely on a competitive basis; 2)       give preference to projects which relate to government priorities and country strategies in addition to academic merit; 3)       increased focus on youth and connect the best and brightest to Canada; 4)       integrate education marketing, where possible, to Canadian Studies activities; 5)       promote institutional linkages and research collaboration on priority issues between Canadian and foreign institutions;6)       better communicate program success in Canada as well as abroad;7)       better measurement of results.The report suggests that some new programme components are being explored to respond to priority issues, such as:1) A        1)Thematic Conference Grant Program: seeking a diversified participation by stakeholders including government representatives, NGOs, business sector, academics, students and Canadian experts;2)            2) Graduate Student Debates, perhaps organized in parallel with regional conferences;3)           3) A Graduate Students Research Award Program: to help full-time graduate students at degree-granting institutions of higher education to undertake doctoral research in Canada， whose dissertations are related in substantial part to Canada;4)            4) Canadian Academic Leadership Program: to send top notch Canadian academics and researchers, and/or current or potential leaders in government, politics and the media to different regions of the world to speak on topics relevant to foreign policy objectives. 5)            5) Broadening the reach of Canadian Studies activities by supporting foreign institutions in developing programs that encourage student mobility                 6)      A fund for innovative strategic projects that relate to international education activities.For details please see the attached report in English or French. It would be greatly appreciated if you could send your comments on this report to President/Secretariat of ACSC as soon as possible.
