Congratulations to Nobel Prize winner Professor Arthur McDonald

Yesterday the world learned that professor Arthur McDonald of Queen's University (my alma mater) won the Nobel Prize for Physics - this is great news for Canada's investment in basic science. Listen to Professor McDonald's comments on the need for greater balance in investment on basic science and the need for greater industry investment in science and R&D. This shows the value of investing in basic science in those areas where we have world leading expertise.

Congratulations!
