VANCOUVER, B.C. - Canada must invest in clean energy to remain competitive and create jobs, says Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff. 
 

He told the Vancouver Board of Trade on Tuesday that Canada needs to catch up to other countries when it comes to clean energy technologies that will boost the economy and tackle climate change. "At the heart of our next platform will be the most significant national investment in clean energy jobs this country has ever seen," he said. 
 

Ignatieff said that so far, Canada lags behind Germany, Denmark, China and the United States, which is investing six times more per capita into clean energy compared to its neighbour to the north. 
 

"Clean energy changes everything," he said. "Not getting into the game now is like a pass on the Internet back in 1995, and investing in transistor radios. 
 

"The jobs of tomorrow are being created elsewhere as we speak. Either we act now or we spend the next decade wishing we had."
