<p class="p2"><i>Modern, high-quality research facilities and infrastructure are essential for</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>breakthroughs in Canadian research and science. These laboratories and</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>research centres are where medical and other scientific breakthroughs are born,</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>helping to solve real-world problems and create the economic opportunities of</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>the future. World-leading research facilities will attract and train the next</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>generation of scientific talent. That’s why, since 2015, the federal government</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>has made unprecedented investments in science and technology, at an average</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p2"><i>of $13.6 billion per year, compared to the average from 2009-10 to 2015-16 of</i><o:p></o:p></p>
