Support a framework on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in scientific research across all federal grant funding programs, and commit to strengthening Canadian scientific and engineering communities to include the full participation of equity-seeking groups, including women, visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, people with diverse gender identities and people with disabilities.
Scientific research is the main reason we continue to live longer, healthier lives than our ancestors and science has only increased it's impacts, positive and negative, on humanity over time.
Because we believe that evidence-based science creates the foundation upon which many of our policies rely it makes sense that we must also invest in the research and development of all the sciences that give us those insights, including social and theoretical sciences, not just applied sciences.
