Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for allowing me to speak about the investments we have made in science. In recent years, we have seen what an important role science, technology and innovation play in finding solutions to the great challenges that humanity faces, from climate change to COVID‑19. We have also seen the key role that diversity and inclusion play in scientific research. That is why we expect the research councils to put the right policies in place to achieve this goal.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We, on this side of the House, do indeed trust our universities. That is why we are making massive investments in science, research and innovation because those things are important. My colleagues in the House want the scientific community to reflect Canada's diversity. That is why we asked the research councils to implement the right policies to ensure that scientific research represents all Canadians.
