Thi...More muddled thinking from the Conservatives.<br /><br />This kind of goes against recommendations of the Jenkins commission. It recommended the government BUY more products from Canada's high tech companies. (Similar to the way the US government has historically bought large amounts of product from US high-tech companies (aerospace, science, defence, energy, computing, health-care)).<br /><br />Providing investment capital is a bit muddled in today's economic environment. Customers and revenue is what high-tech companies most need. Capital's cheap, but banks won't lend to you without customers. Having steady sources of federal revenue allows them to more easily justify investments in RD that may pay off with many private-sector customers. But it's the truth that most RD is highly risky, won't end up paying off, and harder and harder for even the largest companies to justify.<br /><br />To be fair, the government may have got the message when it comes to MDA, and its purchase of a new radarsat satellite program. But it didn't get the message with respect to AECL, and the maple reactor or ACR, for instance.<br /><br /><a href="rd-review.ca/eic/site/033.nsf/eng/home" rel="nofollow">Jenkins' report</a>crfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726414637021391906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-6987843181180952722013-01-15T11:35:21.814-05:002013-01-15T11:35:21.814-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.crfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726414637021391906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-66079160241831537202013-01-15T10:42:42.258-05:002013-01-15T10:42:42.258-05:00Ok.
