Mr. Speaker, young Canadian scientists have walked off the job today. They have not seen a wage increase in 20 years. Here on Parliament Hill and at universities across the country, thousands of graduate students and post-doctoral fellows are rallying for the wages they deserve. Rising living costs are forcing young Canadian scientists to abandon their studies, leave the country or live in poverty. They deserve better, and Canada needs them to stay. Will the government finally increase graduate scholarships and post-doctoral fellowships and index them to the cost of living?
