At a recent Mississauga Board of Trade event, we caught up with Canada’s Science Minister, the Hon. Kirsty Duncan.

Fresh from her trip to Washington, where she spoke with American scientists and

championed the need for greater cross-border collaborative research between Canadian and American scientist,

the minister took the time to learn about Mississauga’s new Life Science’s focused development strategy.

Ms. Duncan also discussed with Biotechnology Focus why she believes the sector should be in the forefront of Canada’s innovation strategy, her ongoing review of Canada’s science and innovation strategy, and the creation of new science research chair positions.
