Dr. Geist, you said, I think, that increased costs in the Canadian market are not the way to go. Remember, I come from Oshawa, and the traditional business was bricks and mortar. Government policy makes a big difference. If you're increasing electricity rates or putting in new taxes, as we've seen, many of our jobs ship out.
I see with e-commerce that many of the jobs are portable, and these businesses can be portable. They don't necessarily have to be in Canada. I see that there's a bit of an urgency here, if we want to be marketing Canada to the world so that Canadians get an advantage in this.
Maybe I'll start with you, Dr. Geist, but then go across the panel. You gave us five really good points, but what's the low-hanging fruit here? What advice can you give the government as to what, maybe over the next six months to a year, we could do policy-wise to improve our global competitiveness? Is e-commerce going to help Canadian businesses be more competitive internationally?
What can you tell us that we could do right now to help things out?
