I'll just jump in here.
I think we actually had this conversation at the pre-budget consultation about creating some of the structures and marketplace frameworks that will require funding from government to benefit Canadians.
As to the investment agency, we're still waiting for details, recognizing that Minister Freeland said that we'll see more of them in the fall economic statement. I think this generates a discussion about benefits and maximizing investments for Canadian companies versus what that looks like for attracting foreign direct investment to Canada. Sometimes those strategies end up actually hurting Canadian companies.
As we are talking about investment attraction, I'll use the very perfect example of Amazon. When it was doing its shopping internationally for HQ2, we had a number of Canadian companies step forward and say they didn't understand why governments—not just Canadian governments, but municipal and provincial as well—were raising the white flag to attract this type of investment, which is only going to eat up our talent, suck away our customers and make the marketplace less competitive for our companies.
Certainly we recognize that the investment agency is part of budget 2022 and look forward to the details, but it will be critical to make sure that the structure of what the terms and conditions look like for that investment to come into Canada...and to create the economic outputs that we require for prosperity, productivity, etc., will be really important.
