Mr. Chair, at this time I would like to ask the minister a question, because we also see on page 91 that there is no expenditure allotted for the Canadian biotechnology strategy, genomics based research for the year 2004-05, and only $4 million in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Why does the minister not intend to invest in biotechnology this year in order to allow stem-cell research to continue its progress toward rapidly finding a therapeutic treatment for diabetes?
