Mr. Speaker, we know how research and development can aid a society's development, as well as the development of small, medium and large businesses.
We see this in very specific sectors like health and education. It is very important for chemical discoveries and the development of new projects.
Our universities must be better subsidized when it comes to research and development. Education is under provincial jurisdiction and the government looks after higher education, but investments are crucial to research and development. We cannot abandon the regions as the Conservative government is doing.
