(Return tabled) Question No. 177 Mr. Peter Julian: With regard to nanotechnology: (a) what are the total federal funds spent and committed for expenditure, for each of the fiscal years from 2005-2006 through 2008-2009 inclusive, broken down by department and criterion; (b) who are the recipients of these funds; (c) to what purpose was funding for nanotechnology used by institutions and departments, including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, Natural Resources Canada, Industry Canada, and the National Research Council of Canada; (d) what were the amounts allocated to test health, safety, and environmental impacts of nanoproducts ...[+++]and nanomaterials; (e) what is the list of nanomaterials currently in the market; (f) which of these have been extensively tested to determine possible effects on human and environmental health and safety and, of those tested, which, if any, raised concern or required mitigation or prevention; (g) how many assessments on nanomaterial notification packages have been submitted to the New Substances Notification Program to date and (i) of these notification packages, have there been any nanomaterials rejected for entry into Canada, (ii) have there been any conditions of use placed based on assessment results and, if so, how many; (h) did the government ever request notifiers (companies or individuals) providing nanomaterial notification packages to submit additional toxicity data above and beyond what is requested in the schedules of the New Substances Notification Regulations and, if so, did this result in refusal of entry into the Canadian market or justify use of material with conditions; and (i) what information, notifications or advisories have been issued to ensure the safe discovery, production, manufacturing, use and disposal of nanomaterials and nano-enabled products, (i) when, (ii) by which departments?

The State Aid Framework for RD will be revised notably to increase collaboration between public research institutes and industry and may be extended to cover new provisions to support innovation, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This included tolerating State aid only in as far as it was accompanied by capacity reductions, accompanying measures to mitigate the social impact of restructuring, and support to research and development (in particular applied research and support to pilot/demonstration projects).

A wide variety of management action is thus possible, but such action should always include: actively informing the public, investigating the problem, and establishment of a remedial action programme (short and/or long term) with a suitable time table and budget.

The research covers in particular the permanent monitoring of the financial results of the fisheries industry, accompanied by studies on special subjects such as improving the fishing fleet, applied research on product development and processing, and the development of alternatives to saccharine in fish preserves.

The Commission decision imposes an obligation on the Italian authorities to send the Commission, from the second year of implementation of the research programme, annual reports on progress achieved.
