The perspective I bring to this argument is that Canada must match global standards for intellectual property protection if technology is to be invented here, patented here, and commercialized here. My consideration is for the net benefit to our economy of having companies, whether they're indigenous or multinationals, commercialize their technologies here and give us, as Canadians, access to the latest technologies that are available around the world.
