I have about two minutes left. Unfortunately, I don't have more time.
I want to come back to the issue of the accelerated capital cost allowance, because when I chaired the industry committee, we recommended it for the manufacturing sector, and at that time many economists came out and criticized it and said it was a subsidy.
Our argument as a committee was that it's a tax deferral and results in a lot more economic benefits coming to the government over time. It's being proposed for telecommunications, for natural resources, for the equipment manufacturers...for a lot of people. The manufacturing coalition has come back.
I wanted to give you the opportunity to address the question of whether it is a subsidy, because you know that's how the finance department is initially going to react. They're going to say it's a subsidy, a fiscal cost to the government, and have concerns on that side, especially with the fiscal situation we're facing.
I have about a minute for whoever wants to address it.
Go ahead, Mr. Lord.
