Mr. Speaker, here is the truth on who is scorching science.
Last week the government re-announced research dollars for a University of Alberta study on nanomaterials to enable expanded use in electronics, computing, manufacturing and health care.
Simultaneously, the government mislead Trent University into thinking it could continue directly related NSERC-funded research at the Experimental Lakes on potential environmental and health impacts of those particles. The result: a full year of data lost and a third of the public investment.
Does the government defend this as good science or good governance?
