Mr. Speaker, when it comes to research and science, Canada has been racing to the bottom for the past 20 years. It is the only G7 country that has lost researchers since 2016 and the only one that has reduced its investments in R and D over the past 20 years. It has not indexed its graduate scholarships since 2003. While the minimum wage has doubled, our students' wages have not gone up one red cent. What message does this send to the next generation? All the students and their associations are watching us right now. When is this government going to wake up and increase the value of graduate scholarships?
