I am concerned about it too. I think we all share this.
We have this whole notion of the global trade initiative, how we're good stewards and how Canada participates properly out in the stage of the world. All these other jurisdictions are being very domestic. They're being very sensitive about the infrastructure in their own jurisdictions and protecting their IP, protecting their monetization, and making certain they have those companies in play. We want to do the same, but there seems to be a lack.
Is it government's role at that point to also be a partner?
I hear that coming from you, Ms. Furlong. You're really encouraging Canada to step up a bit in this next stage to participate with the pensions, companies and others, to facilitate greater investment and being an investor too.
With that comes consultants and lawyers and expenses, and we recognize some of the concerns that people on the other side may have with regard to that. With that also comes failures in some of the deals, but the net result is positive if we were to be the players and take that risk.
Should the government be the risk-taker?
