We can, 100%. We just have outdated policy thinking.
The whole world, 25 years ago, approached productivity as a two-legged race. There was neo-liberalism for the tangible economy, where you got rid of friction and had free trade, and then for the intangible economy, based on restriction, they built a set of digital policy infrastructures. Canada thought it was a one-legged race and the rest of the world ran it as a two-legged race. All I'm suggesting is perhaps we invoke the second leg.
That's what I mean by updated thinking. We have lots of experts, but they're not used because the keepers of the policy orthodoxy don't think it matters. What's the old expression? “I've seen the enemy, and the enemy is us.”
