科学技术是社会生产力中起决定性作用的重要因素,是经济发展和社会进步的强大推功力。为了促进科学技术的发展,美国、加拿大较早地对科学技术实行法治,随着科学技术日新月异的发展,特别是新技术革命的兴起,社会经济的增长越来越依赖于科学技术进步,美、加两国都积极采取措施,不断制定新的法律,使它们的科技法制日趋完备,把科学技术和法制这两个过去似乎相隔遥远的部门越来越紧密地结合起来。 Science and technology are the important factors that play a decisive role in the social productive forces and a powerful driving force for economic development and social progress. In order to promote the development of science and technology, the United States and Canada implemented the rule of law for science and technology earlier. With the rapid development of science and technology, especially the rise of the new technology revolution, socio-economic growth has increasingly depended on scientific and technological progress. The United States, Both Canada and China have taken active measures to continuously formulate new laws so that their science and technology legal system will become more and more complete and the two sectors that used to seem far apart like science and technology and the rule of law will be increasingly closely integrated.
