Thank you.
Mr. Klugman--and this also applies to the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences--we are enormously in favour of more funding for science, research, and innovation. In particular, we have heard good things about the IRAP program and the SR and ED program from many quarters. The only caveat is that SR and ED is a bit bureaucratic. There are a lot of hassles.
I have heard less about section 116. If I understand this correctly, you're saying that you want changes in that section that would make it easier for foreigners to take over Canadian companies. That strikes me as a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, we want access to foreign capital; on the other hand, we also hear lots of complaints that Canadian companies get to a certain size and are then gobbled up and are less likely to grow to become big companies.
What do you say to that?
