Abstract

OTTAWA-- Canadian universities will soon be turned loose on a massive shopping spree for scientific talent. Prime Minister Jean ChrA©tien last week unveiled a US$205 million program to create 2000 new research chairs, calling it a plan for brain gain aimed at reversing a flow of talent to the United States. University officials applaud the initiative, even if it derives more from a desire to outflank political foes than to strengthen academic research.
