Mr. Speaker, let me quote from the same report:
Canada is well equipped to be a leader in the knowledge based economy of the 21st century. We have the people, the institutions and the research excellence. We know the challenges that we face, and the opportunities afforded to us. By mobilizing our resources, we can be a leader in the new economy. By working together, we can ensure continuing success as we embark on the new millennium.
The policies we have been pursuing over the last five and a half years are the very policies that will turn around that gap and successfully lead us into the 21st century.
