Agriculture and Agri-Food
Question period focused on cuts and consolidation at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research facilities, including the sale of the beef herd at the Nappan research farm in Nova Scotia. The Conservatives said the government was cutting science and research funding, with a large share of reductions falling on science and innovation, and said spending was going to foreign food projects instead of domestic research; they asked the minister to reverse the closure. The Liberals said science and research remain a priority, that infrastructure is being consolidated to reduce rising overhead costs so more money goes to research, and that 17 research centres remain across the country, including the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa.Written by AI from the debate.
