Northbridge Consultants made note of Canada’s 2015 Federal Economic Action Plan and how it will affect R&D in Canada, notably graduate support and partnerships with the National Research Council:
Support for R&D partnerships and internships is also a priority, with $56.4 million designated for over 6,000 new graduate internships in industry-related R&D and $119.2 million designated for partnerships between industry and the National Research Council. Moreover, the satellite communications sector will receive $30 million for industrial research. To maintain Canadian participation in international aerospace projects, the Government has allocated $243.5 million over ten years to the development of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Going forward, new strategies will be announced by the federal government to enhance business access to R&D support programs.
