I think we're mixing together two really important issues. One has to do with how competitive the Canadian economy is and some of the challenges we have within Canada with respect to productivity, and so on. The second has to do with Canadian multinationals reaching out into the global economy.
There's one point I really want to make, going back to the question raised earlier. Roughly half of the world's trade goes through multinationals. The idea that we can sit in Canada, produce goods, and export to the global economy without having a multinational network--it just doesn't work. You have to be out in the global economy.
So these are two really important issues, and there are issues about how competitive and productive resources are within Canada. I would argue that allowing multinationals to move into the global economy enhances our competitiveness.
