Prairie Diagnostic Services Inc.

The funding will support the purchase of new equipment to expand and modernize PDS'' diagnostic testing capacity. With the Harper Government''s support, clients will receive better access to the expertise they need to help ensure the safety of Canada''s domestic and export food supply.
