Justin Trudeau will meet with Bill Nye tomorrow to discuss Canadian innovation

Canada's Prime Minister will be meeting with a special guest to discuss how science in Canada rules.

Justin Trudeau and Bill Nye the Science Guy will be having a public discussion tomorrow about the 2018 Federal Budget, which was recently unveiled.

The two will be participating in an armchair discussion at the University of Ottawa and will be highlighting investments in Canadian innovation.

The 2018 budget proposes an investment of nearly $4 billion in Canada’s research system to support the work of researchers and to provide access to state-of-the-art tools and facilities.

This includes more than $1.7 billion over five years to support the next generation of Canadian researchers through Canada’s granting councils and research institutes, and would provide the single largest investment in fundamental research in Canadian history. It also includes over $1.3 billion over five years for investments in the laboratories, equipment, and infrastructure.

The event, titled Science in Canada, is completely sold out.
