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.

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.

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.

I haven’t actually looked but does the budget indicate any increases (or decreases) to tricouncil funding for research?

Beyond this attraction plan?
