Important Information

The mandate of the Canadian Biotechnology Advisory Committee (CBAC) concluded on May 17, 2007 with the release of the Government of Canada’s Science and Technology (S&T;) Strategy, Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada’s Advantage (www.ic.gc.ca/epublications). The S&T; Strategy announced the government's intention to create a new Science, Technology and Innovation Council as part of a broader effort to consolidate external advisory committees to strengthen the role of independent expert advisors. The new council will provide the government with policy advice on issues referred to it by the government and will release regular state-of-the-nation reports that track Canada’s S&T; performance and progress against international benchmarks of success.
