Canada plans to give unified voice to science

David Dickson

Canada is planning to establish a single national science organization, designed to generate and coordinate scientific advice to the federal government and to provide a voice for Canadian science in national and international debates.Draft proposals for such a body — to be known as the Canadian Academies, and based on models such as the US National Academies complex — are now being published on the Internet by a working party set up by the federal government last year.
