The announcement comes months after Canada launched a $2.3 billion Indo-Pacific strategy to boost military and cyber security in the region. Canada also said it would tighten foreign investment rules to protect intellectual property and prevent Chinese state-owned enterprises from snapping up critical mineral supplies.
As part of the new rules announced on Tuesday, funding will be denied to applicants seeking to conduct research in sensitive subjects if any researchers are affiliated with a university or entities connected to foreign militaries or security agencies that are viewed as a threat to Canada. The order was directed to the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the country’s federal research granting councils.
The ministers also urged that Universities Canada and the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities adopt similar guidelines.
