Science and technology in Canada

Science and technology in Canada consists of three distinct but closely related phenomena:

the diffusion of technology in Canada
scientific research in Canada
innovation, invention and industrial research in Canada

The Canadian-built Space Shuttle robotic arm (left), referred to as Canadarm, transferred the P5 truss segment over to the Canadian-built space station robotic arm, referred to as Canadarm2

In 2018, Canada spent approximately C$34.5 billion on domestic research and development, of which around $2 billion was spent directly by the federal government in-house and an additional $5.7 billion was provided by provincial and federal sources in the form of grants.[1]
