The CBC and the major magazine L’Actualité have both published articles quoting CSMB President Tarik Möröy, who appeared on a hearing on Canada’s response to COVID-19 at the House of Commons Standing committee on Health.
He told the House of Commons health committee last week that Canada is the only country that had a major national health research funding agency cancel its grants during the crisis.
He acknowledged that Canada was quick to mobilize funds for research related to COVID-19, but worries about the long-term impacts.
“We worry that this is at the expense of other health research that then will still be necessary after the pandemic is over,” Moroy told the committee.
