Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to each of you for your presentations today.
Ms. Samson, I really like Quebec films like Crazy, La Grande Séduction and Le Vendeur and TV shows like Tout le monde en parle orLes Parent from time to time.
Do our investments in the production of Quebec films increase our ability to attract Hollywood North investments, in the sense of having Hollywood films produced here?

We're seeing a multiplier effect in films, for instance, where the Nova Scotia government offers a fairly generous tax credit, as an example, and we're seeing a multiplier effect in terms of the Hollywood north activities in Nova Scotia.
In the industry that you represent, Ms. Ashton, do you see as well some multiplier-type effects of domestic investments here by governments in Canada through tax benefits and that sort of thing as potentially augmenting our capacity to attract activities from, say, the U.S. and other countries?

Yes, but one of the arguments for that investment can be the multiplier effect and the capacity to attract other investment, so that actually strengthens your argument.

To Dr. Reid, I'd like to ask a question about the Alzheimer's strategy. You mentioned a dementia strategy.
Speaking of that, I've been told that Canada is one of the few industrialized countries that has yet to implement a national Alzheimer's and dementia strategy. When you Google national Alzheimer's strategy you come up with the website for the UK. You come up with the news that the U.S. launched a national strategy in May of 2012. You get the private member's bill from Motion 574 of the hon. member for Edmonton-Leduc, but you don't get a Canadian government Alzheimer's strategy.
My mother is 84 and has Alzheimer's and has access to resources to help her, but an awful lot of families out there and a lot of people with Alzheimer's don't have the benefits to track the support they need.
What do you see as a national Alzheimer's strategy, and which country is doing the best job of it and what should we be following as best practice?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you very much to each of you for appearing before us today.
Mr. Smillie, recently I was at a conference of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and there was a session on education and training. One of the Calgary-based oil executives or CEOs said he had just as much interest in the quality of trades training in Nova Scotia or Newfoundland as he did in Alberta, because of the mobility of the workforce in Canada.
Over the weekend I was in Mr. Jean's riding of Fort McMurray, where a lot of Atlantic Canadians are living and working. One of the things I saw in that riding...when you talk to people, you learn that some of the training programs enable people after grade 10 to go to a summer job, to do some form of apprenticeship after grade 11, and then in grade 12 they graduate from high school with a skilled trade.
Given the diversity of practices around trades within Canadian provinces, do we really need a robust national trades and learning strategy in Canada—working with the provinces?

Yes.
This is a longer discussion perhaps, but I would assert that we need more than just coordination. This is a national imperative, and there's no constitutional barrier to preventing leadership on this file from the national level.
On the issue of international students, both in terms of Canadian students studying abroad and foreign students studying here, for a long time Australia was attracting more students from China, but I believe last year Australia started attracting more students from Mexico than Canada. Is it a question of resources, or is the Australian government just more focused on this in terms of the amount of investment they're making? Would it be a good idea to develop some sort of national or internationally recognized scholarship program aimed at attracting the best and brightest to Canada, something with a branding capacity of, say, a Fulbright or a Rhodes scholarship?

Mr. Lounds, congratulations on the work the Nature Conservancy of Canada is doing. I support what you're calling for, in terms of continuing the NACP.
Have you looked at issues around land banking and agriculture and sensitive agricultural land? We're seeing more of that, for instance, in the Annapolis Valley, in Nova Scotia, with the pressures of development.

Dr. Aiken, have you calculated the potential savings to Canadian governments at all levels of making this sort of investment? It stands to reason that if we conduct the kind of research you are speaking of, the social and economic benefits in the future ought to be quite significant in terms of a multiplier effect.

Thank you very much.
In 2006, Sir Nicholas Stern's report identified the cost of not acting. It really made the point that there are going to be massive global costs associated with climate change. Should we be putting line items in budgets as governments, anticipating and preparing for those types of investments in the future? I visited a community in Newfoundland a couple of years ago where the mayor showed me a breakwater that was partially destroyed by more frequent and severe storms. The only road leading into the town was being threatened. At some point, that needs to be addressed. Should we be anticipating and budgeting for that pre-emptively?

Ms. Reynolds and Ms. Brisebois, on the issue of credit cards and the regulatory framework, has the voluntary code of conduct achieved all of the objectives, or should we be looking at other models, including potentially the Australian model or other models?
That leads to another question. Which countries have it right in terms of regulatory framework around credit charges to businesses?
