Thank you. I think that's an important aspect.
In the past, Canada has designed our energy prosperity and sovereignty. We created innovative hydroelectric projects. We developed transformative technology in nuclear power, oil and gas extraction, and so on. According to the 2020 Bloomberg innovation index, Canada fell to 22nd place. This would seem to indicate that somehow we've abandoned the concept of those nation-building ideas, which we've been so good at in the past.
Of course Mr. Balsillie, you've given previous testimony that I think is important for us to look at, as far as protecting intellectual property and data is concerned. Could you perhaps outline some of the factors that you feel we could use to correct some of those issues over the near term and the long term?
