PM Trudeau and student researchers smile as they talk in the McMaster Automotive Resource Centre. Everyone knows research is important, but there’s no affirmation like having the Prime Minister of Canada visit to see what you’re doing to move the country forward. Such was the case Wednesday morning when Justin Trudeau visited the McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC) and the neighboring McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute. Members of the Liberal cabinet joined the prime minister after Trudeau had chatted with faculty and student researchers at McMaster Innovation Park, the research, commercialization and advanced manufacturing hub on Longwood Road South. She said she was especially pleased to see the prime minister spend time with student researchers during the tour.
