The programs that Canada has put in place in recent years make us competitive.
Before I joined CIHR, I had the privilege of setting up a new research institute at the Université de Montréal. Because of programs established quite recently, we were able to attract a number of teams from the United States and Europe. We even brought home a good number of researchers and their teams, which is essential for the continuity and the quality of the research. There has been enormous progress in this area.
