Ms. Joly, I'm going on to a new question, because I didn't get an answer and I don't want more of my limited time taken away.
The second pillar was “create”. There have been a lot of claims today that our innovation ecosystem is alive, well and healthy, but the reality is that that's completely untrue. We don't have the infrastructure we need for our computing capacity. We hold only 12% of our own Canadian patents, while 87% have become foreign-owned. Our commercialization is limited, costing us $75 billion yearly, or 2.7% of our GDP, and $5 billion in lost tax revenue.
These failures are leading to a brain drain. Our talent is leaving our country because we cannot commercialize. What is your file doing to protect the intellectual property generated here in Canada and control our licensing terms to enable our own commercialization in sustained manufacturing?

um-sized companies in Canada, and how government can help drive a strong economic recovery. Conservatives are committed to ensuring these businesses thrive, not just survive, by providing the solutions they need to overcome today's challenges and build a future of growth and prosperity. The past decade of economic stagnation will not define the next. Together, we can turn the page and create a stronger, more competitive Canada.

kers in Kitchener are feeling it. Canada used to be the leader in EV technological innovation and Canada makes the best cars. Unfortunately, this government instead made a deal with China that floods Canadian markets with China made EVs. I believe in Canada’s auto sector and I believe that Canada makes the best cars and for the sake of our auto workers, I hope this government does too. #kitchenercentre #auto #ev

The urgent need to gain talent is an admission we have been, and currently are in, a brain drain. The root cause of which I asked about, how will the government specifically safeguard patents to support domestic production and commercialization? Re-gaining talent means nothing … Read more
if the government doesn’t put guardrails in place on research investment to ensure the IP they create stays sovereign. Otherwise, it’s a net negative return on tax payer investment. #kitchenercentre #innovation #ip
