When you travel to places like China, which I just did with a parliamentary committee, you see how quickly they're developing their university system. They have a command economy, of course, and they can decide where they want to place the emphasis in their investing, but they have made very strategic investments in computing and telecommunications education, for example.
If we're to continue to have a competitive edge in Canada over other places in the world where we can't compete simply on wage issues alone, shouldn't the federal government have some kind of national strategy to promote certain kinds of industries and certain kinds of research that will give Canadian students an edge so that they can find jobs in the future, building industries in Canada that can compete better against other jurisdictions in the world?
