We can discuss reasons for or against increasing health research.
My reasons why it should be increased are, for one, that the opportunity has arrived. The NDP government seems to be unsure about what sectors to diversify the economy into.
And, health is a timeless industry, and health research generates major business. It is an innovative and economical engine that will be around for the foreseeable future.
It also produces products that are extremely valuable to ourselves, families and friends. A cure for cancer or a better treatment for Alzheimer's are products we could all benefit from, but we do not benefit from the natural resources that are exported to other countries.
