Mr. Speaker, our government has been firm in its support for all scientists and researchers. Over the past seven years, we have helped rebuild Canada's world-class science and research sector. We will continue to support our robust science and research ecosystem, which reflects Canada's strengths and advances Canadian interests, because we know that it is not just the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing to do.

Mr. Speaker, I proudly stand behind our government's record on supporting science and research from coast to coast. Our government has made science a priority after years of neglect. Not only is science back, but the scientific community now better reflects the Canada of today. Institutions are taking measures to integrate diversity and inclusion in their hiring practices. We will always support Canadian scientists and researchers.

Mr. Speaker, we introduced Canada's first ever intellectual property strategy in 2018 with investments of over $85 million, and we have built on those investments. Budget 2021 proposed to invest $90 million to create ElevateIP, a program to help accelerators and incubators provide start-ups with access to intellectual property expertise. Moreover, budget 2021 also proposed $75 million for the National Research Council's industrial research assistance program to provide high-growth client firms with access to expert intellectual property services.
