The failure comes from the stewards of public money. They give the money away. They require that, for instance, you keep accounting so that you don't pay for a trip with it, of course, yet there isn't an approach that manages this in a way that captures the benefits to Canada. It's a policy inattention that is inexplicable, and we're paying a very sorry price for it.
My only question is, how low does it have to go before people realize that this is where the prosperity is, where the good jobs are and where the tax base comes from? This is where the future philanthropists and venture capitalists come from. If we don't address the upstream as a condition of funding from an institutional and policy point of view, rather than taking a downstream fragmented approach, it's just Einstein's definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.
