Disappointed to see Budget 2018 commitments "announced" as "new" money today. Despite how it looks, there has been no increases to #gradstudent pay, #postdoc pay, or grants announced today... and Canada continues to fall behind our international competitors. #SupportOurScience

Curious about yesterday's announcement from ISED claiming "over $960 million through grants, scholarships and programs"? So were we... 🤔 This money is committed investments from the 2018 Budget, not new money. See our #NewsRelease below for more information 👇👇👇
