Inco’s (TSE) success with applied research shows the linkage between resource development and the development of high technology in Canada, said Ontario Premier Bob Rae during a ceremony to open a $6-million addition to the company’s research facility in Mississauga, Ont.
“There is no gap” between resource development and the development of technology, said Rae. Inco is an example of “the marriage between the resource base our maker has given us” and the education provided by Canadian universities and colleges to devise new techniques for the extraction and use of mineral products, he said.
“We’re told we’re moving away from a resource-based economy,” said Rae. “I believe that is a wrong-headed view.”
Rae, along with federal Minister for Science Bill Winegard and Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion, cut a ribbon to officially open the addition. The occasion also marked 25 years of operation for the laboratory named after former Inco president Roy Gordon.
