Yes. As I said at the outset, you definitely need an environment that doesn't impose impediments, and I don't disagree with that. But you also need people who aspire. One of the things that is often said about Canadian...we have lots of start-ups; they don't make it to the next level. I think Professor Geist's point about what Canadian entrepreneurs often aspire to is being sold to someone else is unfortunately true. We just did a study that showed more than half the start-ups we looked at were getting financing outside of Canada. That has something to do with the risk aversion of many of the financiers and the difficulties in accessing capital in Canada.
What I would argue--I could be proven wrong--is that you could make a lot of the regulatory changes that are being discussed here. You could open up things. You could drive down prices. But if we don't address those issues around a culture where people are encouraged to try and fail, if we don't ensure that engineers are coupled with people who understand what a market is and how to meet the needs of a market, if we don't get those things right, you can deregulate everything and I'm not sure we'll be further ahead.
The only other thing I want to say--as I've been around since we had the discussions of interconnection and long-distance competition--is if you're outside the major urban areas, the issues around access to infrastructure and so on.... I haven't heard very many people talking about those issues. If we're interested in moving the Canadian economy ahead and the quality of life for all Canadians, we do have to grapple with some of those access issues.
Total deregulation may not be the solution to addressing the needs of people in northern Ontario. That's something I'd like to make sure gets on the record as well.
