Let me shift gears.
Can somebody tell me how much we spend in Canada on research related to doing better at cancer detection and treatment? Let me preface that by saying that there recently was an article in La Presse that looked at the percentage of GDP that's spent for research and development, comparing Canada to other countries. We're not doing very well. We're well below the OECD average. We're below China. We spend less than half of what the United States spends and about a quarter of what South Korea spends. We're spending 1.5%—it used to be 2%—on research and development.
How much are we spending on research and development related to cancer, and should that be increased? The Biden administration has announced a moon shot to try to prevent four million cancer deaths by 2047. Should Canada make a commitment to do something similar and put more money into research and development?
Whatever I say can't end up on the record, but what you say can, so I'd like to hear from all of you. Hopefully, you're all going to say “yes”.
