Alberta is a really interesting use case right now. Their tech unemployment rate is at zero and they're crying for tech talent.
Minister Schweitzer out in Alberta has done a pretty good job at working with innovators across the board, and they recognize that there is this necessary transition that needs to take place from old economics to new economics and, credit provided where credit is due, they have engaged on a number of initiatives, including a data strategy and an IP strategy, thinking about how to bring venture capitalists into the mix and starting to have conversations about what investment looks like there. Its creating, as I've mentioned today and in several committee sessions before, those marketplace frameworks for what it's going to look like for foreign direct investment to set up in Alberta and, to be honest, championing local domestic technology companies.
AltaML is a great company out in Alberta that has just led the way and is taking start-ups under their arms and building that ecosystem of network effect that is really critical.
If I could sum it all up, it is really about just championing local domestic technology companies and saying that we're open for business, that we're ready.
Then just to your point on reducing some of the regulatory burden, there have been a number of conversations on what that looks like. I think those certainly need to continue as things move forward in Alberta, and, of course, with the federal government as well.
