 To Invest or Not to Invest…It’s Not Even a Question

The debate on whether or not to invest in times of economic uncertainty has been raging in the years since the recent financial crisis.  In Canada, the latest budget has revealed the extent to which our government is willing to fund growth projects.  Budget 2012 has set aside nearly $500M ($400M via the private sector and $100M via government) for venture capital funding to invest in early-stage risk capital, and to support the creation of large-scale venture capital funds led by the private sector.
