Sure, I'd be happy to scroll down a few of those things.
Obviously, I already talked about changes to the Investment Canada Act and to the Competition Act, because I really do think it is important that Canada remain open for business but at the same time have rules that are in place for businesses that everyone knows will lead to a properly functioning marketplace. The last thing we need is for our businesses to come to us and say that they want to compete as much as the next business, but these guys aren't playing by the rules, so they can't compete with that. That's why the Competition Act is so important, because it does weed out those companies that are using anti-competitive, abuse-of-dominance, or other price-fixing cartels and these kinds of things that are injurious to the consumer but also to the legitimate businesses out there.
The Investment Canada Act changes are important because this sets the foundation for us to say to the world that these are the rules of the game. We have the right to protect our national security, but if you're here to invest in jobs and opportunities that will employ Canadians, we want to be open for business. I think that's an important message to send around the world. In the few trips that I've taken, for instance to India in February, that was my message. I met with over a hundred businesses, and my message was the same: Canada is open for business. So those are important.
As I mentioned, our work in the broadband sector, in knowledge infrastructure, in keeping our tax credits lush and our business taxes low, will have a long-term impact on our competitive behaviour as a country and of course our ability to create jobs and opportunity in the future. So to me, it's not just about fighting fires. I consider myself the competitiveness minister, the one who concerns himself day in, day out with Canada's long-term competitiveness. I view things through that prism. Even with our short-term issues, we've got to look at the long-term impacts that will be positive for us. That's how I see everything that I do.
