I'm going to take the last spot here, as the chair's prerogative.
I wanted to touch upon two broad things, both related to the question of innovation. I want to ask about how it happens, and how the innovation continuum works. I wanted to use two examples: one in the ICT sector, one in the health sector.
Mr. Meldrum, I'll put this question to you. You'll probably enjoy answering this, because one of the common criticisms of business in Canada is that it does not invest enough in research and development. However, your sector is probably the biggest exception. It invests in R and D. It invests in innovation, and it has stupendous successes. Take this BlackBerry; if you'd told me 10 years ago I could have something that would have phone, e-mail, and Internet capability, 6,000 contacts.... Everywhere I've travelled in the world, this thing has worked. That's an amazing innovation.
Could you talk about why your sector invests in innovation? What is it that causes you to invest? Just give us your thoughts. Is there a government policy we should look at changing? Or do we just have to tell other sectors to pull up their socks and start investing the way the ICT sector does?
