No, this is assistant, associate, and full, because we've been hiring a lot of female professors in the last five or seven years. I will submit to the committee a package of about 50 slides, all sourced from OECD or StatsCan, and not manipulated by me in any way, shape, or form, because that's the way I do my research. They are what I call urban legends, dealing with a whole series of issues that you'll be looking at in the finance committee: infrastructure spending, spending on science, and so forth.
It's very illuminating. I cut it down obviously because I only had five minute, but I will submit it to the committee after today, the full suite of slides. Every one is sourced with the full URL so that any MP can go and look at those graphs or slides and say, “Oh, my goodness!”
The one I really wanted to emphasize was on the diversification of the economy. There are two ways of looking at it. StatsCan is great. They produce great charts, graphs, and tables. You can look at the composition of the economy either by the number of Canadians employed in each sector or by the share of GDP. Either way it doesn't matter, we are overwhelmingly a services economy that is highly and extraordinarily diversified. I'm not saying we shouldn't be doing more. I'm just saying that the myth, the urban legend that we're not diversified, is just simply, empirically false.
Natural resources is a tiny share of Canada. I've been teaching for 29 years. Every year, I ask my students how many of them are going upstream into agriculture, natural resources, or manufacturing. In 29 years, I've had exactly zero students raise their hands. I have had, to my knowledge, zero of my students go into upstream—manufacturing, agriculture, or natural resources. They're all going downstream.
The way I like to put it, and I'll be very quick on this is that all those thousands and thousands of high-rise buildings across Canada, in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, are part of the services sector. They're not drilling for oil on the 50th floor of First Canadian Place and they're not growing potatoes on the Sun Life insurance building. That's the services sector.
So the next time an MP says we're overwhelmingly invested in oil and gas, look around at all the high-rise buildings in every city. That's where we all are.
