Companies will and must seek out the most competitive way to organize their production to be successful in the international market. In globalization it has meant that companies have had to look at how they globalize their production at the same time as globalizing their sales. There are many examples of companies that don't manufacture in Canada but make very important contributions.
In Quebec, Ericsson, which is a foreign telecom company, maintains almost 2,000 research and development jobs in Canada that we benefit from, but it does not manufacture its product in Canada. In fact, it manufactures its product in places like China, India, and elsewhere. Bombardier maintains its overall administrative head office and principal R and D capabilities in Canada, but maintains manufacturing facilities throughout the world.
We are looking to maximize the benefit Canada derives where we can, but those jobs may take different forms than just manufacturing.
