There are certain things we're doing to keep Ph.D. students in Canada. For example, our data suggests that those who have done Mitacs internships are 60% more likely to remain in Canada.

Otherwise, the temptation to cross our southern border will be too great, since salaries and industrial innovation are much greater in the States.
