Canada has three real gems: SDTC, NSERC, and Canmet. I've had in-depth involvement with all three organizations over the years. I believe that innovation is the core competency of Canada. We can't necessarily compete with cheap manufacturing, so we have to be innovative.
We talked earlier about how the costs are going to come down by, say, another order of magnitude over the next several decades. We know technically how to do that, but it's going to require a tremendous amount of innovation, so strategically it's a huge mistake to be cutting funding in the fastest growing-energy industry on the planet, which is creating more jobs faster than any other energy industry.
Canada is already substantially behind in the deployment of the technology. We've had a lot of excitement in Ontario over the last couple of years because of that, but innovation is profoundly important to this, and the returns are quite substantial. This is what we've seen in Europe. It was mentioned that $125,000 per job.... We went through the math with the German government. In three years, they got their money back in terms of spin-offs and a whole bunch of other stuff. Innovation I think is key.
