Mr. Speaker, we all know, and it was quite clear in the throne speech, that our support for research must continue in the future.
The proof is that for the last 10 years we have invested $13 billion in research. We have done a lot.
It was very clear in the throne speech that we will continue to invest in that. As industry minister, I will support that and work very closely with the scientific adviser to the Prime Minister, Mr. Carty. It is fine for Canada to have a scientific adviser to the Prime Minister, like other countries.
