Absolutely, Mr. Speaker, I can confirm that there are no cuts to Genome Canada. In fact, let me read one more time: “Genome Canada is pleased with the federal government's 2009 budget--”. That is from the board of directors of Genome Canada.
This is good news for the scientific community across this country. This government is absolutely dedicated to the science and technology community, but the member over there intends to vote against all that support for our scientists, for our universities, for our colleges. That is a shame.
