A couple of you spoke about the scientific research and experimental development tax credit. We've had a lot of discussion about this as a committee. Obviously, our industry committee came forward with some pretty solid recommendations, and a number of them were put into the 2007 budget.
The finance committee itself actually, for good reason, I think, decided to abstain on that vote of endorsing it from a finance committee perspective based on the fact that moving on the scientific research and experimental development tax credit without making sure you're going to do it properly is a concern for us. If we're going to do it, we want to make sure it's done properly and has the maximum amount of impact. That's why the Minister of Finance actually started the panel on this, to discuss it to make sure that it does comes forward in a positive way.
I noted, Mr. Alvarez, that you did use a couple of words that I think are pretty important, and I'd like you to expand on that; the words are “ transparency” and “clarity”. It would be good to get your thoughts on that, because we are just in the middle of trying to move forward on this, and it would certainly be helpful to get your thoughts.
