The fact that manufacturing is uncompetitive in
Canada. SME companies are leaving Canada, and
politicians don't seem to care. The fact that we are
not teaching our students to think critically but
indoctrinating them. They are not ready for the
workforce. The fact that Canada allows dumping of
foreign products in Canada against their own tariffs,
and this goes on undeterred. The fact that we have
energy unaffordability due to carbon tax, clean fuel
standards and other taxes that products brought into
Canada don't have to deal with. I am happy that the
Canadian ship building program and Industrial and
Regional Benefits (IRB) policy helps SME businesses
with innovation and an ability to contribute to the
ship building program. Our company is proof of this.
