n this country accounting for 25% of all industrial research and development. So if a statement like this is made by the vice president then we have something to worry about and the government should deal with this issue as soon as possible before it is too late.In conclusion, I believe that Canada is suffering from a Brain Drain, even though there is a lack of qualitative and quantitative evidence showing a Brain Drain.Canada is experiencing a serious outflow of highly skilled people to the United States, which is being offset by an inflow from the rest of the world that costs $1.5 billion per year. In many of my sources, economists are justifying the flow of bodies from Canada by a more than equal inflow of skilled migrants from the rest of the world, but such immigrants are not as productive as those who have left, and their resettlement here is costly. Therefore it is not an even trade. Trained immigrants coming from the rest of the world may not speak English or French as well as the Canadian would. Moreover, their training may be different, and while on paper they are degreed and have experience, but in reality they may not meet our standards. This is why foreign university graduates earn roughly 25% less than Canadian-born University graduates while emigrating Canadians do as well or better than native-born Americans do. Therefore, just by looking at this factor, its only logic for us to conclude that yes Canada is in trouble, and if the government does not lower taxes and other economic forces such as postsecondary educational subsidies, then we will not only lose our brains but also our most reputable companies (Nortel) will move and establish themselves someplace where talent is found....
