Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party of Canada pledged US$3.1 billion in scientific funding over the next five years, compared to the less than US$1 billion allocated in last year's budget. Much of that funding will go to granting-councils, rather than to select research projects, as has been the case in the past, while much more will go to fundamental research than ever before. According to finance minister Bill Morneau, this budget is "the single largest investment in investigator-led fundamental research in Canadian history."
