Let me ask about another core service of the department—research in health and innovation. I know that in your speech you tried to suggest that there is additional money for scientific research. However, the cutback to the CIHR is a significant one and presents a serious deterrent to funding innovative research. It flies in the face of everything the Americans are doing to invest in a national institute of health. I'm wondering if you are prepared to match proportionately the Obama new money to NIH with comparable funding to CIHR.
