Mr. Speaker, does my colleague on the other side of the House support the investments in innovation and research outlined in chapter 3.4 of the budget. These include increased funding for the granting councils; funding for Genome Canada; additional funding for the Canada Foundation for Innovation, for the National Research Council, for investments by SMEs in research for business development; and money for Sustainable Development Technology Canada. It builds upon the investments we have made in research with respect to the Vanier graduate scholarships, the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships, the science and technology strategy of 2007, as well as the investments in terms of the venture capital financing.
Does she support these initiatives in budget 2013 or not?
