Ms. Beauger, you said that we can do better. And yet, our neighbours, the United States, doubled the core budget of the National Science Foundation. It's the biggest single research funding program.
How can we compete in this area when Canada is lagging behind the United States? As you know, internationally, science and research are highly competitive fields. I'd like to see what you have to say on this. If you don't have the time here, you could no doubt send us your opinion in writing.
Thank you very much.
