Canada’s total R&D effort boosted by increases in higher education spending
Other sectors remain flat
Total R&D spending in Canada is estimated to increase 5.1% this year to $24.5 billion in 2004, due mostly to increased federal support for the higher education sector. Statistics Canada says the modest increases projected for 2003 and 2004 “indicate a recovery” after gross expenditures on R&D (GERD) decreased in 2002 for the first time since the department started tracking R&D.
