Would I be wrong to say that the Canadian government decided to cut back on research funding in the mid-nineties? I know that crop producers and grain producers in Quebec have joined forces with producers in Ontario and are asking the Canadian government to bring back the investments in research that were available in 1994. As you can imagine, it has been years since this area has seen investments similar to those in 1994. What would an increase in investments mean, especially for a university like yours?
