Advocacy for science in Canada is one of the main activities of our Society. CSMB continues to meet with politicians, MPs, and sister organizations to advocate for increased science funding. On in November several members of the executive committee of CSMB attended the 16th Canadian Science Policy Conference in Ottawa. This was an excellent opportunity to discuss Canadian science and innovation policy. While in Ottawa, the executive members met with Dr. Mona Nemer (Canada’s Chief Science Advisor) and met with MP Dr. Helena Jaczek, member of the Standing Committee on Science and Research on November 21, 2024. These were very fruitful meetings and allowed CSMB to emphasize the importance of funding basic science in Canada.
