Science and technology for the new century : Industry portfolio's action plan / On behalf of: Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, Business Development Bank of Canada, Canadian Space Agency, Federal Office...: C2-290/2-1996E-PDF

"The Government of Canada is committed to achieving economic growth through innovation. To do so, it must work with other sectors of the economy and other institutions to build a knowledge-based society that will enhance Canada's national system of innovation. Science and technology are integral to this process. In February 1994, the Government of Canada launched a sweeping examination of the challenges facing science and technology in Canada and the opportunities for federal action. Based on extensive public consultations and valuable input from other sources, this review produced the federal science and technology strategy, Science and Technology for the New Century, which sets out new directions for S&T in Canada. This document is the response of the Industry Portfolio to that strategy. It represents a new, strategic, managed approach to portfolio co-ordination and co-operation, based on a shared vision and guided by common goals and principles"--Goals, page [1].
