In that case, use it.
In the meantime, I have to remind my colleague, unfortunately, that we will not be indulging in petty politics on this. I could ask him what has been done in the past 20 years. We could actually go more than 10 years back and look at the past 20 years. That is not the objective of our meeting today though. I think we get along well in this committee and manage to avoid partisanship. We cannot change the past, but we can take action for the future.
You are here to help us, Mr. Van Loan, and the bill is interesting. For my part, I think the concept is good.
I would like to go back to the 20% that you suggest in Bill C-323. Earlier, you mentioned that construction projects that use built heritage are more, what should I say, not profitable, since that is probably not the right term to use, but rather more attractive in terms of commercial development than new construction is.
You know that developers always look at the cost of a project and the return on investment. My question is simple: is the 20% credit enough of a deal maker to entice developers or citizens to develop their project and move forward? In other words, is that 20% credit enough to generate interest?
