That is a good question.
First of all, I want to mention that even in the U.S., despite the overall increasing R and D, when you detrend this information, you still see that there has been a decline in investment in both tangible assets and R and D. Unfortunately, Canada has been lagging behind on the technological aspects. I don't have a good answer as to why this might happen, but definitely the current environment does not help it, because the increase in the gap between the leaders and the laggers prevents knowledge dissemination, technological dissemination, and can essentially make the situation much worse.
