It’s insulting to tell 🇨🇦 scientists we need international scientists to run to our rescue & ensure innovation.

🇨🇦 scientists have exceeded expectations with paltry funding. If the gov funded Tricouncil > & sustainably; imagine how innovative we’d already be!! /End

Increasing support to researchers already in Canada by allocating this $1B to tri-council funding and infrastructure would go a VERY long way.

Research labs provide training and employment, strengthen innovation, and produce findings that can benefit all Canadians.

Two large studies have been commissioned by the
@liberal_party
on how to improve and enhance the Canadian research ecosystem, and it is almost as if they were after thoughts deemed irrelevant.

Instead #budget2025 seems to focus more on provide tax breaks for industry.

If #Budget2025 is supposed to be one that is "generational," it is a shame that investing in those who are already here and contributing to Canada's future have been completely overlooked.

Those 1000 new researchers will also compete with the rest of us for the same amount of tricouncil funding. So, expect grant success rates to get worse
