Thank you for that, Mrs. Block.
The first thing about new investment or investment in new technologies is that typically the new technologies that are being deployed, whether they're being deployed in a mine or a foundry or whatever the industry might be, use a cleaner technology. In the case of construction and agriculture, that equipment, the tractors and the bulldozers, has what are described as tier 4 engines, EPA tier 4 engines. Those are new technologies that are coming into effect in the model year 2011 and have a much lower emissions standard.
With regard to the economic benefit, though, and what more rapid CCA rate claims allow, it increases the cashflow. According to the report tabled with the committee from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, for every 1% increase in cashflow to a company that's making investments in new technologies, there's about a 65% increase in the investment of that new technology.
More cashflow through faster writeoff of investments results in even greater investment in new technologies, and that all leads into the productivity cycle that a number of the people around this table spoke about this morning.
