  • Time for action on innovation, not more study By BARRIE McKENNA From Monday's Globe and Mail If more recommendations from important 2008 federal report Compete to Win had been implemented, Ottawa might not still be talking about innovation deficiencies
  • If innovation was measured in the output of reports about innovation, Canada would be a world leader.We're not. We are a laggard. The report tracked Canada's progress over the past two years based on 24 different indicators, such as the percentage of GDP spent on research and development, R&D spending by businesses, investment in machinery and equipment, PhDs and high school test scores. Since the council's initial report in 2008, Canada's performance is down in 15 categories, stagnant in three and improved in just six.
  • Here's a passage from L.R. (Red) Wilson's seminal 2008 federal report, Compete to Win: "We rank poorly across almost all aspects of innovation: the creation of knowledge, the diffusion of knowledge, the transformation of knowledge and the use of knowledge through commercialization."

  • The R&D focus should be on industry clusters that can leverage the country's natural resource wealth and traditional strengths. Think energy, water, agriculture, forestry, mining and manufacturing that serves vital Canadian needs.
  • In areas most closely linked to innovation, the progress is equally slow. Mr. Wilson, for example, urged Ottawa to look at creating tax incentives to encourage venture capital and speeding up the commercialization of intellectual property developed in universities.
  • The to-do list on the path achieving that objective is long. There's overhauling the Investment Canada and Competition acts, opening up the telecom and broadcast industries to more foreign competition, creating a national securities regulator, reforming copyright laws, eliminating remaining internal trade barriers and lowering personal income tax rates.
  • It may mean that government plays a larger role in some industries while leaving others to their own devices. That, at least, is how other similarly sized economies successfully leverage limited government funds.More study has become an excuse to put off these much tougher, but inevitable, choices.
