Thank you. I agree that we have amazing companies here in Canada, especially in Kitchener Centre, where I'm from. I proudly declare us Canada's innovation capital because of all our innovation and technology coming from there.
I want to quickly mention again the $4.4 billion in AI investment, but 75% of that has now gone abroad to companies not here in Canada, so our public tax dollars are funding, as you said, the futures of someone else.
What specific competition-focused policies could reverse Liberal oversight, incentivize private investment and prevent IP leakage to ensure that our youth who are driving our innovation as well as our next workforce have a bright future here in Canada?

mes from my home riding, being an innovative joint replacement technology, but they can't monetize. They're having trouble scaling because of red tape bureaucracies. It's hard to scale here in Canada. Also, there was an article that came out today from CTV that said, “Warren Lovely, managing director with National Bank Financial, told BNN Bloomberg...the private sector has already lost confidence in the federal government, and the country is dependent on the U.S.” Current policy, in the past 10 years, has not been in the form to create innovation and technology in Canada, and we've lost investor confidence in this country. This has been over the past 10 years. To me, these are policy and bureaucracy problems. You even said that it's not something to throw money at. It's how we create investment. In terms of policy, what can we do to create investment here in Canada and to support our innovation and technology sector?
