In what Jay is talking about, it's clear that to date we've seen strong investment by manufacturers. They're saying, “We're doing our best to grow our businesses.” But if we look at the longer-term future, how are we going to handle a situation where the global economy is not as healthy as it has been for the past decade?
We've been enjoying a long period of very strong growth globally. That has helped Canadians cope with a lot of factors that might otherwise be more difficult. So, looking forward, we do have to look at both the short term and the longer term in terms of what makes Canadian communities places where people want to grow business. I think that applies to large businesses and small businesses alike.
In the longer term, it's not just about taxes. I think the human resource side is very, very important. As Garth said, where will the next generation of entrepreneurs come from? Are we growing those?
If I can just pick up on something else Jay said, it is true that countries compete for investment, but it's also true that communities compete, and every community has unique aspects. That's why I think it's not just a matter of trying to impose top-down policy. We need to talk about how to empower communities to foster that entrepreneurial energy and to offer whatever unique factors they have to attract businesses in any sector.
