  <description>&lt;p&gt;According to a &lt;a&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; by the &lt;a&gt;Milken Institute&lt;/a&gt;,
the Canadian high-tech sector has grown faster than anywhere else in
North America. The report compares metropolitan data between 2003 and
2007 (the latest available) and includes data from Canada and Mexico
for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
