Yes, absolutely. I tried to cover it very fast so there would be time for others as well.
The second recommendation I wanted to cover is on procurement, as that is very important. If you ask all the CEOs, the majority of them will tell you that a dollar of revenue is far better for a company than a dollar of grants or funding. If government buys the products we create, even the ones they fund themselves.... Sometimes, or the majority of the time, they don't buy them. If government buys the products that companies in Canada create, we can create big companies, and innovation in Canada would then grow much faster.
Government is the biggest spender in Canada, but when it comes to procurement, the majority of those dollars, for example, in technology, in software technology, are going to big companies in the United States, because they're just being safer. But isn't innovation all about risk? If we have companies in Canada that are innovating, instead of a free grant I would just buy the product from them. Yes, it has some risks, but it creates very sustainable innovation.
On the third one, you asked about our immigration. I think we need to solve the technology aspect of it. Instead of government trying to solve everything themselves, there are so many software technologies in the market, in the business world, that can solve a lot of these problems that we're dealing with in our immigration system. I don't know how other ministries are solving their technology problems, but the whole Canadian immigration system can be built very fast if there is a will for using the current technologies in the market.
I would recommend this, and then, connect it with a good AIML that gets the labour data and gives a very good alignment between our immigration and our market. For example, right now, our immigration—
