Research and science are essential to creating opportunity for Canadians and finding solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow. That’s why the Government of Canada has committed more than $10 billion since 2016 to fund research and science, and that’s why its response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been guided by research and science. To keep Canadians safe and supported through this crisis, and to build back better for everyone, we will continue to make smart investments in Canadian research and those who power it.
