McGuinty, Schwarzenegger sign stem cell, clean air deals
TORONTO (CP) - Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will sign deals this week to boost stem cell research and to find a low carbon fuel alternative.
Government sources say the stem cell agreement will be signed at the MaRS Discovery District research centre in Toronto.
The sources say McGuinty will announce that $30 million from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research will be earmarked for the Cancer Stem Cell Consortium of researchers in Ontario and California.
Schwarzenegger is a leading advocate of stem cell research because he believes it will lead to medical breakthroughs to treat and find "a cure for deadly and debilitating diseases."
Most of the governor's Republican colleagues, including President George Bush, oppose stem cell research because embryos are destroyed in the process.
Schwarzenegger and McGuinty will also sign a clean-air agreement at the Ontario legislature Wednesday to cut the amount of carbon generated by fossil fuels to help lower greenhouse gas emissions.
