May 6, 2022

6 May 2022 – Brampton, Ontario

Science and innovation lead to a stronger and more resilient economy. Just over two years ago, Canada was hit by the most severe public health crisis in over a century. The COVID-19 pandemic changed everyone's lives. Through these difficult times, Canadians and Bramptonians have worked to find innovative solutions to address the situation, adjusting and learning from it.

The pandemic has showcased the importance of strong science and research. That is why today, MP Sonia Sidhu announced, on behalf of The Hon. François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, that this government is investing $900,000 into Sheridan College through an Applied Research and Technology Partnership grant. This will support the development of mobile health and machine learning innovations in health care delivery. 

Having worked in the healthcare field for more than 18 years, MP Sidhu is proud to be part of a government that is so dedicated to science and research. The investment being highlighted today will not only enhance Canada’s world-class research capacity, but will also help innovate to create growth. MP Sidhu is particularly proud that Brampton South’s own Sheridan College is benefitting, and can not wait to see this funding be put to use.

By continuing to make the largest investment in science and research in our history, this government is creating new jobs, a cleaner environment, and healthier communities.
