In general terms I would agree with that, but that's both a plus and a minus. What I've seen with grant programs over the years in various applications is that just at the point in time when an application for something very relevant comes up, the appropriation has been totally used. Therefore, you have to wait for the following year, if it's extended. As well, it has to be funded either year to year or whatever the appropriation mechanism is.
A tax mechanism is something that gets into the Income Tax Act and is a permanent feature unless it's repealed or sunsetted in some manner, but these are not the kinds of mechanisms that you would necessarily sunset unless the incentive was designed to stimulate action in a particular period of time. For example, if you wanted very quick action on rehabilitation of heritage properties from coast to coast, one might consider a tax credit that would say it commences on such a date and it ends two years or three years from now. Those people who are then interested have to take action fairly quickly. It has those kinds of benefits.
