A couple of months ago, I was at an Ontario government health care initiative, and the issue of how to introduce new medical devices to hospitals came up. Of course, when you go to the big cities, you end up with huge bureaucracies. It's almost impossible to get innovations into hospitals because it just takes forever to get there. The angel investors give up. They don't want to invest in these kinds of companies.
The interesting aspect is that when you move to the rural areas, the hospitals are much more flexible and willing to try things. You can have success there, and then move it back to the big cities.
Where I'm going with this is that, if you think about it, if you're going to have $200 million, or whatever it is that's going to go to the cities, it has to be in the place of least resistance to have the most impact. Whether that's in the city or outside the city, I don't really know, but it should be put in the appropriate spot.
There is another thing. I met someone from China yesterday, when I was at a centre that promotes innovation and start-up companies in southern Ontario. Just to put it into perspective, they mentioned that they're looking at investing in start-up communities in Canada. They have $32 billion at their disposal. We can't compete with that. We have to think of alternative ways to invest in our future.
