My boss was involved in preparing the draft proposal that this bill is based on. He has over a decade of experience on both sides of the VC/start up fence. His experience bringing the team that created Summify to Canada from Romania was a catalyst for this bill. Like all things, it is not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.

Agreed. As someone who was pushed out of Canada because of visa restrictions back in 2008 (and has been living in NYC since), I'm glad to finally see some steps being made here. By coincidence I just got back from a weekend back in Vancouver and had forgotten how much I miss the place- but as someone more tech-oriented, I'm still working out how this could play to my advantage.
