Exactly. It seems to be, for the individuals who come to me as doctors, for example, it's difficult for them to find the correct pathway forward. I will even give an example. One of my close personal friends that I went to school with—I've known him since kindergarten—is now practising in the United States because the transfer of his medical degree—and he's at one of the best hospitals in the United States—is so costly. It's easier for him to have his family there and come back to Windsor all the time. He lives in the U.S., and he pays taxes in the U.S. He considered coming back to Canada, but in raising a family, and with all the different things, and the investment that he's made, it makes it more difficult for that individual.
I agree, it's not just a.... It also relates to our immigration policy and so forth. Expectations sold abroad, which are quite different when people get here, are fraudulent. In my opinion that fraudulent expectation crushes individuals. Now the next generation of that, their sons and daughters, are watching them not practice what they were back somewhere else because of mere red tape or other difficulties.
I'll be quick Mr. Chair.
I'm lucky to have the University of Windsor and St. Clair College in my riding. I'm familiar with lots of the innovation that takes place.
I'll end with one thing, to have all three of you to finish, and that's one of the reasons I've been asking about the sustainability of our system. It's more about AUTO21, for example, and fortunately Windsor being sunsetted for mere number reasons in terms of it only goes to 14, which is ridiculous in my opinion.
Aside from that, when you look at inventions and innovations in the past, such as potato chips, x-rays, Teflon, and all those things, they were accidental innovations. I'm a little concerned and want your final thoughts on whether there's space. Are we sometimes over-prescribing the development of innovation as opposed to the exploration that leads to innovation?
