Mr. Speaker, obviously we are not pleased with the results of these job losses. This is something we are very concerned about.
The fact of the matter is that the very budget this hon. member voted for has a number of science and technology investments. They are found in Canada's economic action plan. For the Canada Foundation for Innovation, there is an extra $750 million. For industrial research and development internships, there is another $3.5 million. For the Institute for Quantum Computing, a world-class institution, there is $50 million.
These are all science and technology investments and they will pay dividends in the years ahead.
