Mr. Speaker, on Friday, the Liberal government honoured a commitment it had made in the latest budget by announcing an investment of some $65 million over two years in Canadian health research institutes.
The research institutes will be working to put in place the means to prevent the brain drain to the States, by, among other things, improving support to experienced and new researchers.
The creation of these organizations opens the way to a new era of research and innovation in the health field and to an improved quality of life for Canadians.
In the end, the people of Canada will reap the benefits of the work done by Canadian health research institutes.
