   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

   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.)
