In terms of specific examples of specific companies that have used this, there is one particular company, Kuntz Electroplating, which is in south Kitchener. They are in auto parts manufacturing. They've made some significant upgrades in their equipment over the last number of years.
As a chamber, we could probably provide some case-by-case situations among our membership that would demonstrate the investments that our companies and our members have made.

In my area that's what I've asked for. I've asked for companies to tell me if they utilize IRAP and if it works, and if we should increase funding for that. Also, how do they use the SR and ED credits, and how do they use accelerated capital cost allowance? When we had the stimulus period, how did they use the work-sharing program? Some of them were able to write me and say specifically which investments they had made in terms of this machinery. All that would be very helpful for us.

Okay. I appreciate that.
I want to thank all of you for being with us here today and for joining us from Calgary. We appreciate your responses to our questions. If you have anything further, please send it to the clerk, who will ensure that all committee members receive it.
Thank you very much.
The meeting is adjourned.
