I'd like to comment from my background in international business.
I was involved in helping to implement business deals between Alberta and Mexico in the 1990s. It seems to me that one of the most important jobs we have as Canadians in business is to make potential investors aware of how great it is to do business in Canada.
We have the strongest investor protection in the world. That's a big plus for investors. We have excellent tax laws. Quibble about the rates, but we have very good tax laws. They're fairly clear. We actually have less red tape than almost any other country you can imagine. We have very low corruption rates, which is very important to a lot of people.
We are a very highly innovative and highly technological country. We have a labour force that is very well educated.
We need to be getting out there and telling people, investors inside Canada and outside Canada, how great it is to do business in Canada. Invest in Canada. Invest in Canadian businesses. The government doesn't have to do all the investing. We can let some of the individuals invest too. We have to make them understand how great it is and how beneficial it will be to them to invest in Canada.
