That's always a tricky issue. A lot of it depends on what exactly you're looking at when you're talking about innovation. Canada doesn't spend a lot on R and D, for instance, compared to quite a lot of other OECD countries, which partly has to do with the structure of your economy. You don't have a lot of high-tech industries. You're a fairly resource-intensive economy, which means you don't typically get to the level of a country like Finland, Sweden, Japan, or Korea. I think that explains it to some extent.
On the other hand, I think we're often ignoring some of the innovation that is going on in the services sector, or in some of your resource-based industries. A lot of that is not necessarily about spending a lot on R and D; it can be about using technologies in a very smart way. I think that is an aspect of innovation that is sometimes missing in some of these rankings.
I believe the ranking you referred to was by the Conference Board, but it probably has used some of our indicators, as far as I know.
