Warren Steinley Conservative
“The Liberals cut funding for farming research and weather radar research in Saskatchewan. Because of this, two research farms are closing and it will be harder to warn people about bad storms. How can the government brag about research funding when they made these cuts?”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague across the way talked a lot about investment in research, so I am going to ask a straightforward question. When it comes to investment in research in Saskatchewan, we are losing two research farms in the agriculture industry because the Liberals have cut the funding for agriculture research. Also, at Environment Canada, they have cut funding for radar research, which is going to hamper our ability to give warnings when heavy snow, rainfall and blizzards happen. If he is going to brag about the research funding the Liberals have done, what about the people they are leaving behind in Saskatchewan with the agricultural research cuts and the radar research cut at Environment Canada?”
