When the budget speech came out, it seemed to indicate they were dealing only with cases where someone was using a third party contractor, they hired XYZ Engineering Company to do part of their SR and ED program.
Then when Bill C-45 came out, they used the wording to actually encapture other parts besides third party contractors, the normal contractors. The budget speech said it was there to get rid of a profit margin. We can all dispute whether or not even that was necessary, but why would they want to put universities in there? If there is any group that does not make a profit—we're all supporting universities in many different ways. I don't understand why that would have been included in Bill C-45.
