Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage—2007
Message from the Minister of Finance
The Honourable James M. Flaherty
Minister of Finance
Science and technology are essential to the everyday lives of Canadians. They are crucial to building a prosperous economy and promoting a better quality of life across the country. This was recognized in Advantage Canada: Building a Strong Economy for Canadians, our long-term economic plan to make this country a world leader today and for future generations.
Canada's New Government understands the far-reaching implications of science and technology discoveries and applications, and the endless possibilities they provide: greater educational and professional opportunities, greater prosperity for individuals and families, and healthier communities.
Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage, also known as the S&T Strategy, recognizes that the Government of Canada plays an important role in ensuring a competitive marketplace and creating an investment climate that encourages the private sector to compete against the world on the basis of its innovative products, services, and technologies.
The Government of Canada will do its part by creating a new climate of innovation and discovery in our nation.
This is a forward-looking Strategy that will result in lasting benefits for all Canadians. It will help provide individuals, families, and communities with a cleaner and safer environment, better medicines and health care, stronger research and educational opportunities, greater prosperity, and wider horizons for our children's dreams.
The Honourable James M. Flaherty
Minister of Finance
