Thank you very much for the question, sir.
I don't have the exact figures for overall funding, but I can say that funding levels are low relative to other countries. For example, in the report that Professor Kutz referred to, “Northern Research Leadership and Equity”, it's shown on page 69 that Canada's funding for Arctic research is less than 50% of that in Norway. Canada's funding for Arctic research is less than 20% of that in the United States. Only 1% of NSERC funding is given to Arctic research.
Its conclusion is that the data demonstrates that Canada is not a global leader in Arctic and northern research investment.
