Mr. Speaker, the Canada Foundation for Innovation is one of the foundations that has been set up to provide predictable and stable funding for research in Canada. The research is evaluated on the basis of merit and peer review. There has been something like $4 billion put out to research. We have attracted 1,889 new researchers to Canada.
I quote from the president of the University of Saskatchewan who said:
--CFI's support for research infrastructure has been a critical element of Canada's success in research in recent years.
