Mr. Speaker, I recently announced with the Minister of Industry a $110 million funding agreement to develop and operate CANet 4. CANet 4 is an advanced research and innovation network, the first of its kind in the world. It gives Canadian scientists and researchers access to excellent information to do leading edge work in areas such as health care, environment and education.
It also allows our scientists to pursue worldclass research in these growing areas. Canada is number one in this field.
