[GP] The attraction of Ubisoft, or any other major publisher for that matter, must be viewed within the context of a broader strategy aimed at enhancing and strengthening the digital media cluster in the Ontario Technology Corridor. The Ubisoft investment raises awareness in the mind of the industry that Ontario is the place to do business. This will contribute to the growth of the Ontario economy with the addition of high value-added and knowledge intensive jobs."
