Having that support would certainly help us move faster.
The different levels of government provide several funding tools and mechanisms, but everything is fragmented. What that means is that, instead of being invested and leveraged in Quebec, that money is invested elsewhere piecemeal. That can actually be harmful when different bodies try to do the same thing and want the lion's share. It doesn't necessarily allow for the same pace of progress or for investment outcomes to be scaled up across the country.
Let me give you a few examples. A provincial ministry can fund higher education. The Fonds de recherche du Québec funds a lot of research infrastructure. The federal government mostly funds research projects through its three councils or more specific programs from the Department of Industry. Without proper coordination, funding can't be aligned, and the benefits can't be felt nationwide. Everything is fragmented, scattered here and there.
