Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the University of Ottawa and its 126 projects that will receive over $6 million in funding under the SSHRC talent program and insight development grants. The University of Ottawa is one of 79 universities to benefit from the $141 million to support close to 3,000 researchers at institutions across Canada.
These types of investments are important for fostering research talent, and they are key to developing a healthy innovation ecosystem.
Our government's commitment to supporting research is fundamental to making decisions regarding our communities, our economy, our health and our future prosperity.
Congratulations to all of the recipients at the University of Ottawa. I am confident that their research findings will help us make sound decisions in the future.
