Kirsty Duncan: Research holds real promise for people, society and our planet, impacts each of our lives, matters for its own sake, and is a basic building block of Canada.

“Research holds real promise for people, society and our planet, impacts each of our lives, matters for its own sake, and is a basic building block of Canada. It’s time to invest in the granting councils and graduate scholarships, especially as peer countries ramp up investment.”
