I have argued for many years that all post-secondary schools should be innovation hubs as part of aligning private sector with education
as part of taking ideas from incubation to market
▪
a) Has Canada lost its way with innovation - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-innovation-and-rd-canada-2014-
to-2017
b) I have looked at key clusters with fisheries and oceans. The money could have flowed through existing grant programs. There was no
need to create a new entity - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/aquaculture-fish-farming-and-harvesting-analysis (see slide
17)
c) I look at innovation over 4 years ago as part of looking at ways to best support taking ideas from incubation to market -

d) Too many people do not understand subsidies. Direct subsides are a problem, especially if the program picks and chooses winners
and losers. The best way to handle support is via the tax code - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/subsidies-vs-taxation-
analysis-and-commentary
e) More focus needs by all level of government on policies and programs that support economic growth as well as protect the
environment - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/getting-goods-to-market-what-needs-to-happen-by-all-levels-of-government

10. Job Quality
There is a job quality issue that was happening for the past few yrs. COVID19 will lead to leaner mgmt. as part of businesses
trying to rebound

11. Summary
▪ All levels of government need to start focusing on policies that will lead to stronger GDP growth in
key sectors like transportation, goods-producing, technology, and professional services -

program spending – https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/how-to-reform-the-public-sector-in-
