Protecting Canadian ingenuity

Trevor Neiman says greater collaboration between the private sector and Canada’s security agencies is needed to ensure Canadian businesses succeed in the global economy and their intellectual property is protected. He shares his perspective in an interview with The Globe and Mail’s Business Brief newsletter.

“Canadian ingenuity is being used to build or enhance foreign states’ companies and their products. And without having to make decades worth of costly investments in research and development to create these products. This theft of Canadian ingenuity really gives these foreign companies a leg up over Canadian businesses.”
