It's also a foundational policy idea about how one goes about supporting the economy and this shift.
Mr. Balsillie, you mentioned that you've been appearing before government in this committee since 2023. Going back to the article from the National Post, you said:
I was in Ottawa yesterday dealing with them on this. We have to get the ex-ante capture structures right before we throw more money into it. But that’s been a product of this colossal policy failure because they’ve used production economy attitudes where it’s a market failure, that you fix the market with a grant.
Could you expand on that? Essentially, the government is taking an approach of just buying jobs rather than supporting the creation of an idea and then scaling on it. Can you elaborate on that?
