Today, Prime Minister Trudeau announced $1.1 billion in additional funding for a national research strategy to combat COVID-19. The strategy will focus on three main pillars: vaccine research, clinical vaccine trials and expanding testing.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that COVID-19 testing will need to be significantly expanded before the Canadian economy can reopen.

Measures Include:

$115 million in additional funding for vaccine research.
$662 million for clinical vaccine trials in Canada.
$350 million to expand national testing and modeling of COVID-19.
Creation of the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, led by Dr. David Naylor, Dr. Catherine Hankins, Dr. Tim Evans, Dr. Theresa Tam, and Dr. Mona Nemer to study issues such as testing, serology, and immunity.
Over 2 years, 1 million Canadians will be tested as part of the Immunity Task Force work.

Canada’s Nuclear Renaissance, Continued

Canada unveiled its first-ever sectorwide Nuclear Energy Strategy, setting concrete build-out targets: up to 10 new domestic reactors by 2040, four new export markets by 2040, across a four-pillar plan covering domestic builds, exports, fuel/waste management, and fission/fusion innovation. The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.

Tout le nucléaire ne se vaut pas

Les centrales nucléaires traditionnelles à grande échelle ont démontré depuis longtemps qu'il est possible de produire de l'électricité fiable à grande échelle sans émissions directes de gaz à effet de serre. Elles fournissent une électricité stable et continue qui soutient les économies modernes tout en aidant les juridictions à atteindre leurs objectifs climatiques.
