A Canada Learning and Innovation Act (the "Smart Nation Act") would help close the longstanding productivity gap that exists between Canada and its peers, and reverse the decline in research and development investments. The Act will recognize the importance of lifelong learning, the need to invest in knowledge and talented people, and the opportunities for collaboration that will bring about new innovations.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={LEARNing Landscapes}, author={Johnston, David}, year={2010}, month={Mar.}, pages={67-71} }
