Mr. Speaker, let me repeat what I just said.
Since 2006, our government has provided more than $9 billion in new resources to support science, technology and the growth of innovative businesses.
Our government is extremely proud of the world-class work our scientists and researchers do. However, we recognize that good science cannot exist in a vacuum. It must be effectively communicated and shared with Canadians and the greater scientific community, and we do this in many ways.
Our government has supported new initiatives that highlight the work of federal scientists and make that widely available to the Canadian public. Canada's federal scientists also publish thousands of peer-reviewed reports and articles and participate in interviews directly with the media.
Our government will continue to support our scientists and researchers to ensure that the benefit of federally performed science is fully realized by all Canadians.
