The University of Ottawa's Institute of Fiscal Studies of Democracy calculated that there were 147 different programs with interchangeable names intended to foster innovation, and we see more in the latest budget. Do you not agree with their take-away that, if more government programs and more government money was the answer, perhaps this would have been the greatest success story in Canadian history? Instead we continue, under every stripe of government, under every budget, to try to foster innovation, and obviously more money in more programs hasn't gotten the job done so far.
