I appreciate the answer.
To our friends from the Canadian Consortium for Research, I'm with my colleagues on the other side. I appreciate that the ask is not particularly significant. We had somebody at an earlier panel today wanting us to double the research money. It got me a little uptight, so I went back and looked. In the report from the CIHR granting council it says that in 2004-05 it was $757 million, and it's gone to $974 million. That's a significant increase over the last five years—over $216 million. Then they talked about Genome Canada. It's true they didn't have any new money in the past budget. But in the budget before that they got $148 million of new money. The budget before that, they got another $100 million of new money.
I want to be on the record with you folks that I appreciate it was a more realistic ask than what we've had from others. If you'd like to comment on that, I'd be happy to hear your comments.
