Sure.
Of course, this was a stimulus measure during 2009 and 2010. We've done a lot of surveying on what was and wasn't effective for our members throughout that period. Aside from the freeze on EI premiums, which was by far the most well liked, this was one of the most well accepted by small businesses because it did lower the cost of that investment.
In fact, we do a monthly economic indicator called the business barometer. In that business barometer, through that period, especially in late 2010, we saw quite an uptick in investment in computers and technology. We think this had a direct impact on encouraging some of them to make these investments. It is a significant hit for a small firm to take on all at once.
We believe it should be expanded and should perhaps be reintroduced. I know it's not a cheap measure; I think it was about $350 million in the budget. Perhaps it can be targeted more towards smaller firms, because I believe that measure was available to all firms, if we really wanted to target their investing more in these types of equipment.
