Philosophy
OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe in the advancement of science and technology for future development via grant supports from government agencies, such as NSERC and AAFC, and sponsorship of research at academic institutions. Among nations in the world, Canada is known to have a good regulatory framework for NHPs, although there are critical areas that are not particularly clear to the average Canadian. We emphasize the importance of outreach to the consumers and the public regarding product quality and safety issues as well as the importance of understanding the regulatory and evidence paradigm.
