Mr. Speaker, Canada has an intellectual property problem. Yearly, Canada produces $39 billion in intellectual property, the currency of innovation, while the U.S.A., in comparison, produces $6.6 trillion, or 169 times what Canada produces. What is worse, we are giving our IP away. This year the former Google chairman thanked Canada for IP that Canada had developed and which was commercialized in the U.S. Will Canada, in this budget, have an intelligent budget to ensure Canada produces its own intellectual property, or are we going to continue to let the U.S.A. eat our IP for lunch?
