The Liberal government kept singing the rhetoric that it's going to somehow spend less and invest more, and we're seeing the opposite. It's spending a record $78-billion budget deficit. It doesn't seem like it's making the 15% cuts; it hasn't met that target yet in terms of day-to-day operational spending.
Then, on the investing more part, it seems like in this aspect, again, it's doing the opposite of what it's saying. It is actually investing less in science.
We've seen this government spend money on things like $8 million for gender-just, low-carbon rice in Vietnam and $22 million for beans for women for empowerment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
What kinds of conversations, if any, did BioCanRx have with the federal government prior to these cuts? Were these cuts thrown at you so that you just had to deal with them?
