Can you hear me now? I'm sorry about that. I'll try to be brief.
Under budget 2021, there were significant investments for science and research, investments in both the talent pipeline infrastructure and applied research. That includes the laboratories themselves. The strategy was released in the summer shortly thereafter. The Canada Foundation for Innovation released the biosciences research infrastructure fund, and that was done quite quickly after the release of the strategy, in September. The containment level three and four laboratories that are funded from that competition are really the critical pieces necessary to support infectious disease research for pandemic readiness under the strategy.
Further to that, there will be a larger investment on the equipment and research side to follow. Just last week, the Canada biomedical research fund and the biosciences research infrastructure fund competition was also launched.
