I sponsored Bill C240 as my private members bill, because I believe rehabilitation shouldn't wait until release.

I agree with supporting start-ups. Again, we do a very good job at incubating in Kitchener Centre, but commercialization doesn't happen here in Canada. We don't have an environment where venture capitalists want to invest. We have too high a tax burden and the regulatory burdens … Read more

are too high. Although I agree with incubating these start-ups, what can this government do better to make sure that they can also commercialize, stay here in Canada and not leave?
