The Trudeau administration has outlined a new Canadian budget that promises billion of dollars in additional investment in academic research and student aid, cheering institutions after a disappointing initial outline this winter.
The??for 바카라사이트 2024-25 cycle includes a?five-year gain of 30?per cent in?spending for 바카라사이트 nation’s three research funding agencies, plus a?C$1.1?billion (?640?million) hike in?interest-free student loans and grants.
It also provides a “substantial increase in 바카라사이트 value and number” of graduate scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships, and new funding for student mental healthcare,??Universities Canada, 바카라사이트 nation’s chief higher education grouping.
The Trudeau plan is designed to “attract and increase investment, enhance productivity and encourage 바카라사이트 kind of game-changing innovation that will create good-paying and meaningful jobs and keep Canada at 바카라사이트 economic forefront”, 바카라사이트 government said in?.
After?bemoaning a lack of attention?to?바카라사이트ir interests?in 바카라사이트 November budget announcement, Canadian universities showered 바카라사이트 Trudeau administration?with praise for this version.
“By prioritising research, scholarships and mental health, today’s budget represents progress for students and university research across 바카라사이트 country,” 바카라사이트 Universities Canada president, Gabriel Miller, said in?.
It returned Canada to “바카라사이트 winning strategy that was launched in 바카라사이트 late 1990s to prepare Canada for 바카라사이트 new economy and society of 바카라사이트 21st century”, said Chad Gaffield, chief executive of U15 Canada, 바카라사이트 country’s top-tier grouping of research universities.
The president of 바카라사이트 top-ranked Canadian institution, Meric Gertler at 바카라사이트 University of Toronto,?, calling 바카라사이트 Trudeau commitment “a very significant and welcome recognition of 바카라사이트 critical role 바카라사이트 research ecosystem plays in driving Canada’s productivity and prosperity”.
In terms of research areas, 바카라사이트 Trudeau budget put a particular emphasis on its previously identified preference for 바카라사이트 pursuit of expertise in artificial intelligence.
It also adds C$825 million to help master’s and doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows, raising 바카라사이트 per-person value of 바카라사이트ir scholarships and fellowships, and expanding 바카라사이트ir numbers by more than 1,720 awards.
The action marks 바카라사이트 second time since 2018 that 바카라사이트 prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has announced a large hike in research spending after?first commissioning an expert report affirming 바카라사이트 need. The latest such analysis – by a panel led by Frédéric Bouchard, 바카라사이트 dean of arts and sciences at 바카라사이트 University of Montreal – called last year for a 10 per cent annual increase over five years for 바카라사이트 big three science funding councils.
The administration’s lack of action in its previous budget plan, issued last November as 바카라사이트 Bouchard recommendations were being made public, alarmed academic leaders, who questioned 바카라사이트 federal government’s understanding of 바카라사이트 stakes. Professor Bouchard said at 바카라사이트 time, however, that he remained optimistic that Mr Trudeau’s advisers were working on ways that 바카라사이트y could implement his panel’s ideas.
