Mr. Chair, I noted that earlier this month the Canadian Institutes of Health Research announced its funding. I think it totalled around $187.5 million this year. Of that $187.5 million, Atlantic Canada only received $4.8 million and the province of New Brunswick, my home province, received only $243,000. If we do the percentages, that is less than one-tenth of one per cent. Why the dismal amount for the province of New Brunswick?
