Do I still have any time, Mr. Chair? One minute, all right. I'll try to be brief.
My next questions are for the representatives of Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
At present, you do a lot of work with small businesses. These businesses rely massively on tax credits, scientific research and experimental development.
In this type of credit, there's already a variable rate. It's 35 per cent for Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations, CCPCs, and 20 per cent for public corporations. There's even a distinction. CCPCs get refundable credits and the others get tax credits.
Could we imagine, for green businesses, that the rate might rise to 50 per cent, which would be a third rate? Could we also imagine providing enhancements for scientific research and experimental development, which are fundamental in this economic sector?
