Okay. I appreciate that.
I want to move on to Mr. Sinclair, on the manufacturing issue. You pointed out that Minister Flaherty had it in the 2007 budget, but before that, a couple of us were members of an industry committee that recommended it unanimously—in fact, by all parties. I always believe strongly in committee work, so I think that was some excellent work.
You're absolutely right. It was recommended by the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters and a whole host of other organizations.
The challenge is—and members of the opposition will point this out—if you have corporate tax reductions, if you have accelerated capital cost allowance...the challenge is for industry and companies to show that they are investing as a result of these initiatives. You've stated it's working. If you can tell your member companies that the more evidence we have as members of Parliament to go to the finance department and to say extend this or make it permanent.... They will raise the argument: what evidence do you have as parliamentarians that companies are actually making investments as a result of these changes, specifically with respect to the accelerated capital cost allowance?
Do you want to address that issue? I know we're going to get challenged on it as MPs if we recommend it, so what would you say in response to that?
