Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Create a $25M/year fund to attract leading researchers to Canadian institutions when the US cuts their project funding

    "Attract leading researchers to Canadian institutions by creating the Canadian Sovereignty and Resilience Research Fund. If the U.S. cuts a researcher’s project funding, we will work with the Canadian research ecosystem if projects can directly help Canadians or be commercialized here. Where the U.S. is squeezing out researchers, we will look to welcome research here in Canada. Eligible researchers could include professors and graduate students. More researchers at home will help us solve Canadian problems, and export more Canadian solutions to the global marketplace." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

  • Create a capstone organisation to ensure federal granting agencies are funding mission-driven research

    "Finalize Canada’s modernization of science and research, through the creation of a capstone organization that will ensure the federal granting agencies are driving mission-driven research that brings Canadian expertise to big global challenges and effectively commercializes homegrown ideas." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23
