I didn't have time to go through all of this, but the notes are available for anybody who wants to read them at a later point. Obviously, the government shouldn't get too involved in the details, but I think in terms of high-level support, there is a lot more that the government could do. For example, one of the recommendations I made in here, which I did not have time to go over, was a national resource fund, one that would invest directly, debt and equity, in resource projects in Canada.
JOGMEC from Japan, Corus from South Korea, we all know about the Chinese investing in resources overseas. Many governments are. Why shouldn't Canada have a fund that invests in its own resources? There are Canadian companies that go to Japan to get money for Canadian projects.
I'll give you a very simple example. I think a fund like that, that was managed by private industry—and we have many qualified companies in Canada—if Northern Graphite came out with an announcement and said the Government of Canada is prepared to invest $20 million in the Bissett Creek project on the basis that the private sector puts up the other $80 million, the project would get built. It would generate $10 million a year in direct tax benefits to the government. That's not a policy decision, that's a good investment decision, and our ability to go out to the market and say that the Government of Canada is behind this project, if they put up the balance of the money, that's a very powerful message. Those mechanisms do not exist today.
