Mr. Speaker, we need to put money into NSERC and into research and development by reallocating funds.
If the member would have listened carefully as he should have, he would have heard me say that we need to cut wasteful spending. EI premiums should be reduced so that we do not have an $8 billion surplus there. We need to do away with grants and subsidies to industries that do not need them. We need to do away with the wasteful spending that exists and many duplications in various departments. Then the money will be there for reallocation to essential research and development. That is the answer.
