Mr. Speaker, this government believes that research is at the core of both good health and quality health services.
The new investments in the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the granting councils and the new Canadian institutes of health research will benefit all research centres, including those that are not connected to an academic health science centre such as Kitchener. In fact the exciting idea of the Canadian institutes of health research is its inclusiveness. It will link together all those doing research in all parts of this country so that they can be part of a very dynamic and powerful research centre.
