“Science and research are still a priority for our government. We are combining some buildings to cut rising costs and spend more money on actual research. We still have 17 research centres across the country, with at least one in every province to study farming issues.”
“Madam Speaker, that was very important question. Science and research have always been integral to agriculture and agri-food, and they will continue to be a priority for the government. We are consolidating our infrastructure to reduce rising overhead costs and ensure that more of our available resources are being directed towards scientific research and innovation. We remain Canada’s largest agricultural research organization. With 17 research centres nationwide, every province will continue to have at least one research centre to research farm-related issues, addressing regional and national priorities.”
