Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for that important question. As he knows, Canada's research councils are independent from government. Canadians and Quebeckers tuning in today should know that our government has invested more in science than any other government, nearly $16 billion since coming to power. I think that is the right thing to do because we all agree that the best decisions are the ones based on facts and science.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We all agree on inclusion and diversity. That is certainly the directive that the research councils have been given. As my hon. colleague well knows, the criteria are determined by the research councils. What we are doing as the government is investing in science and in research chairs. I am sure that, as members of the House, we all want to foster diversity and inclusion through science and society in general.
