Mr. Speaker, the Conservative attacks on science and research are never-ending.
The Conservatives have eliminated important scientific institutions like the Experimental Lakes Area and the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences. They have reduced investments in Statistics Canada and first nations data agencies. They have fired crucial scientists and researchers right across the public sector, and the ones that remain have been muzzled.
How can the Conservatives possibly justify their science and research attacks? Do they not care about Canada's future?
