Hello all,

The Canadian federal government released its annual budget yesterday. There
was a huge increase in spending for research-especially fundamental research.
These injections follow up on the Naylor report, which reviewed the state of
research funding in Canada. Here's a short timeline to situate this new
development:

October 2015 Trudeau government elected
November 2015 Kirsty Duncan named Minister of Science, with a
mandate to shore up "support for fundamental research"
March 2016 Federal budget injects $90 million (ongoing annual basis)
into research funding council budget, as stopgap measure
June 2016 Naylor panel convened to study the question of research
funding in Canada
March 2017 Budget 2017 released without major new investments in
fundamental research
April 2017 Naylor report released
