Yes, we're not a trivial market, and certainly not when we work in a pan-Canadian way.
No disrespect to Prince Edward Island, but in global terms, its population means that some people might describe it as unimportant. We are tens of millions of people, and when we work together, we are a substantial market that will generate a lot of revenue and profit for companies. Given that they're profit maximisers, I wouldn't expect them to leave.
There are many things we can do, and should look to do, such as complementary policies to make us a better place for companies that are indeed focused to be here—and that has to do with research infrastructure that we don't currently have.
The reason the U.K. does so well and can get away with its low prices is not just that it has domestic global companies, but has the most amazing research infrastructure. As it showed with COVID, it can run 30,000 or 40,000 high-quality patient trials at almost the drop of a hat. We couldn't do that here.
In terms of keeping the companies here, I don't think it's about prices—and that's what the literature says. Companies locate on the basis of other things.
