Mr. Speaker, the issue of the brain drain is one that is very near and dear to my heart. While not directly in my riding, Kitchener-Waterloo are twin cities. It is one of the institutions the members opposite have been quoting when they talk about the brain drain. I point out to the hon. member that one of the highest growth sectors for the region of Waterloo is the high tech industry. It is staying in Canada. It is creating jobs and opportunities in companies that make this country proud on a global basis.
In the House of Commons on February 18th, 1998. See this statement in context.
