Mr. Speaker, as the member knows, we made record investments in science and research in the 2024 budget, and now in the 2025 budget on our impact-plus research chairs program. Some of the work we do is through government science, and we get good advice on that from our hard-working chief science officer.
More important, and in a greater forum, we make significant investments through researchers outside government. I had the recent opportunity to go to Vancouver Island and visit Ocean Networks Canada to accompany my colleague, the member for Victoria, at the University of Victoria's Pacific Marine Institute for Marine Energy Discovery and the Centre for Aerospace Research in North Saanich. I look forward to continuing to build on that work with the member and with the member for Victoria.
