Federal programs and research facilities that have been shut down or had
their funding reduced
Hundreds of federal programs and world renowned research facilities have
been shut down or had their funding reduced by the federal government.
This list was compiled by the Canadian Association of University
Teachers and the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada.
If you are a federal government scientist or researcher and your
program, project, or research facility has been affected by the cuts we
would like to hear from you, please comment below or send us an email at

lost its $1.5 million annual budget when the government stopped funding
the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Science (CFCAS) . In
May 2013, the federal government announced the facility would get a $ 1
million a year grant for the next five years. But according to Professor
Tom Duck, of Dalhousie University, with the loss of CFCAS, atmospheric
and climate research will be funded at less than 70 per cent of the
level it was funded at in 2006.)
