Yusuf had some strong observations about research in Canada, as well as global health, such as his comment, 鈥渇or a rich country, Canada does not invest enough in research.鈥� He also noted that:

鈥淎dvances do not carry passports. There has been thinking in some circles that research funded within Canada should primarily benefit Canadians.. that is too narrow a perspective. Ideas will come from all corners of the world, and our work in Canada should benefit people broadly. Right now, it does.鈥�

All the panelists鈥� overall takeaway/call for action was that 鈥渢he Canadian government must provide more avenues for long-term funding for research in order to capitalize on research talent and ensure Canadian researchers are producing the best solutions for complex issues globally.鈥�
