Just to add one thing, I think you've put your finger on the problem: Canada's economy is structurally extremely reliant on SMEs. SMEs are great, but our problem is that we can't grow these SMEs into larger businesses.
This is the challenge that CCI is here to address. We want to turn start-ups into big scale-ups that can compete internationally with the biggest of the biggest. That's what we struggle to do as a country because too many of our scale-ups get bought out and move to the States.
When we ask our companies why they are in Canada, they almost never say this is the best place for them to grow their businesses. They care about the country and want to stay here. They're invested here. Their families are here.
At CCI, we want to get where people say this is the best place to do it. That's a policy question, not a culture question.
