Still on the same topic, but in the area of research and development, I want to mention the 2012 report from the C. D. Howe Institute. It says that Canada’s performance in productivity in the last decade was one of the worst. In the OECD, that is. It points to insufficient and ineffective support for innovation from the private sector.
At what point do innovation and research and development become necessary for your members? And what must the government do to improve R and D in Canada?
