In your presentation, you say that the competitiveness of a country or a region will be better if significant investments are made. There will be less need for the government to provide assistance because the economy will be doing better. In broad terms, that is what I gather.
Is the opposite also true? If we do not make these investments in specific regions, is the economy going to do worse? Will the result be that there will be increased government involvement in things like equalization payments and employment insurance benefits, for example?
