Industry committee  Dane, thank you for your question. I believe it is incredibly important that our researchers, whether in government or academia, are able to explore, to cross disciplines and to cross boundaries. That's how research works. When it comes to academia, NSERC has very specific rule

Industry committee  I'm going to turn this over to my deputy minister.

Industry committee  I'm going to start right at the beginning. I want to strengthen our culture of curiosity in Canada. All children are born curious. All children want to discover and explore. They'll pull apart this pen. They'll pull apart the microphone. They want to understand how things work.

Industry committee  I want to thank my colleague for his question. Rémi, thank you. Yes, we met with a number of your researchers, and it was just fascinating to know the research they were doing. As you know, all the research that's done is peer reviewed. There are panels created, but we want to

Industry committee  We believe in open data and open science. To pick up on Michael's question, he asked what the chief science adviser has been doing. I hope he has taken a look at her first annual report and the areas that she thinks we should be looking at. I will turn it over to my deputy min

Industry committee  Thank you, Brian. You've touched on a number of areas. I'm going to touch on a number of them, and then I'll hand it over to my deputy minister. You mentioned science and sport. The two absolutely go together. It's really important. If we want to improve performance and the hea

Industry committee  I do want to respond.

Industry committee  I do want to respond to you. It was the first review of federal funding in 40 years. We took that report very seriously, and it led to the $6.8-billion budget, the largest in Canadian history. My last sentence—

Industry committee  Under the previous government, your government also asked Dr. David Naylor to do a report. There was to be a press conference on a Friday and that report was buried.

Industry committee  First of all, let me say that we decided to bring back the position of the chief science adviser, a position that was abolished by your government. We appointed Dr. Mona Nemer, an internationally renowned cardiologist with many awards. Your party's former INDU critic said it was
