Mr. Speaker, the reality is that the Conservatives are attacking scientific funding and research right across the board. After getting rid of his science adviser, ending the Experimental Lakes Area and cutting Canada's ozone network, this summer the Prime Minister went on to give us the punchline to this sad joke:
—things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.
Could the Minister of State for Science and Technology name one policy decision where he was in fact guided by science and not politics?
