One difference between Canada and the United States

Another article which got my dander up: The American government takes another step to increase research funding. Here's an excerpt:

"Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) has sent a letter to President George Bush asking him 'to develop the necessary consensus that will ensure America will remain the world’s leader in innovation' by a 'tripling [of] the innovation budget - federal basic research and development - over the next decade.' Wolf is the chairman of the newly-formed House Science, State, Justice and Commerce and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee. "

Argh. Would we see a bill like that coming from one of our federal MPs? Never in a million years.
