That's a pretty excellent result!<br>
<br>
Just after that in the budget is this tidbit:<br>
<blockquote>"$45.5 million over five years, starting in 2024-25, to
support the Arthur B. <br>
McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute, a
network of <br>
universities and institutes that coordinate astroparticle physics
expertise." <br>
</blockquote>
Rumours had it that MI would get just two years of funding, so this
is a surprise to many of us.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
