That's a great question.
I like that the honourable member always champions his region, which is great. The ecosystem and the businesses that are coming out of Vancouver and the entire region are phenomenal, especially in things like the life sciences. And also, frankly, they are a magnet for talent. We need talent. Canada's international talent attraction strategy and action plan is really about reforming the immigration system to meet new labour market needs. That's what we're trying to do. This technology is evolving. We need skills. We need folks to come here. The purpose of the talent attraction and the accelerated processing is to attract investment and talent to Canada, to start their business in Canada, to come to Canada to invest here and to bring their intellectual property here.
There was a long time where Canada, sadly, was the farm team where we had the talent and we did the great research. And then maybe it was access to capital, but folks were leaving. Now they're coming. We have a system to attract brain gain, not brain drain. That is the goal of the mission. We need it because it's a very competitive landscape.
The Prime Minister talks about this moment that we're in, a political realignment happening at the same time as a technological revolution. If we seize that, get new partners, expand our trade and have pathways to permanent residency for people who are investing in this country, absolutely that's a way to turn this into an opportunity.
