Canada needs to rediscover its innovative streak

摘要

The honest truth is that Canada is doing poorly in innovation and failing to invest in research. Particularly in mining, we are losing our edge and becoming less competitive. The World Economic Forum ranks Canada at 21st in innovation and 22nd among Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development countries in expenditures on research and development. This correlation is glaring. Mining research and innovation in Canada needs a rebirth, a renaissance and leadership.
