You've probably heard that this committee is traveling within the next couple of weeks, and one of the things that attracted the committee, it seems, by the agenda, is big science projects: the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron in Saskatoon, and the Level 4 Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health in Winnipeg. How beneficial are they, compared with smaller research programs? Do we get much more out of these big science programs, and is Canada doing enough of these?
