NP | Eureka! They're paying for it: Budget doles out major cash for science

Published: 28 February 2018

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a proud science fiction fan, but his government's third budget is much more focused on uncovering new scientific facts. [...] The budget itself is so complex it's hard to say whether the government matched the Naylor suggestions word-for-word, said Martha Crago, a member of the panel and vice-president of research and innovation at McGill University. But it's clear the government is committed to science going forward, she said. "What I saw, first and foremost, was that it was a multi-year plan and that's really excellent and very much what the Naylor plan called for.''
