I come from the school of working for Jim Balsillie for four years, so it won't surprise you that I've also had an inside look at some of the concerns. I would say that the intellectual property provisions within the TPP are good for multinational companies that are already strong in that area. I think what I have learned is that if you are a small Canadian company and you're growing up, and you get past that stage of $100 million, one of two things is likely to happen to you. One is some people will come along and try to buy your company if you're really good, and if not, they might try to block you by using patents and patent trolls and a whole variety of other things that could be frankly set to shut you down.
We have to think strategically in Canada in terms of how our small companies are going to be able to compete in that kind of world. So I go back to those universities. We have an incredible amount of intellectual property in Canada that we've paid for through our tax dollars. What if we were to establish patent pools so that those little companies that go out with one or two essential patents were armed with 200 essential patents that came from Canadian investment? This is what Korea does. This is what Europe does. This is what France does. This is what the United Kingdom does. We don't do it in Canada. We should think about that so that we can make sure that Canadian companies can go from being small companies starting on top of a doughnut shop to working in 175 countries.
