Particularly important to the province’s innovation capacity is the addition of 14,000 graduate spaces since 2005, bringing the total to 51,041 in 2009-2010. While much has been done, Ontario and Canada still lag behind in this regard — ranking 25th in PhDs per capita among nations in the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)… we do not generate enough advanced degree holders, particularly PhDs, to meet demand from business, government and academia. We need more domestic graduate students and we need to attract more from around the world.
