Mr. Speaker, our record on science is unparalleled in this country's history. We have increased funding to the granting councils by $5.4 billion, including $1.5 billion for the Canada first research excellence fund; $3 billion in cumulative increases to the granting councils; and nearly $900 million in funding increases for the research support fund. Again, I ask the opposition parties to just once support us in these endeavours.
