The Canadian government is funding a COVID-19 research project that involves collaboration with the China-based infectious-disease lab at the heart of the controversy surrounding the origin of the disease.

A University of Alberta professor has received a grant worth more than 828,000 Canadian dollars ($590,000) to work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology to develop COVID-19 tests, according to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, a government agency.
