I think we do carry some risk by not undertaking an analysis of where the capital resides in today's world. This plays into one of the comments I made in my introduction, and which Mr. Stanford also talked about, as to whether or not we have enough capital in this country.
It is not about just having capital in this country. Again, it's about competition for capital. Wherever we don't see competition in Canada itself.... Canadians are not going to provide one another with capital or with capital on great terms just because we share a passport or residency. We have allegations in many industries in Canada—some are protected by foreign takeover—where we feel the cost to the consumer is too high.
We need to think about where we are in today's economy and about the shift of capital and markets from west to east. We need to be poised when we look at our history and what it is that we're able to look forward to in continuing to maintain our economic growth and our standard of living in a world of 7 billion people. It's a question of math, to a great extent, of understanding where Canadian companies are going to do business and where Canadian companies are going to get their capital.
That is why an analysis of where those markets and that capital reside in the 21st century is very important, as is also understanding precisely the message we're giving to the rest of the world when we make changes to our act that create uncertainty or an impression that we are not as open for foreign investment as we previously were.
