Thank you.
I was interested, Mr. Cudmore, in your remark that you had done some simulations on the effect of the changes in SR and ED on your client base, and also in your statement that a lot of the view from the ground out west often isn't seen in Ottawa. It seems, if I have it right, that you're telling us that folks here in Ottawa are not seeing that jobs in oil and gas companies will be affected because the cuts in SR and ED will reduce the incentive to do research and development. Also, because that is a world-leading sector of Canada's economy, indirectly that will affect jobs in all of Canada.
I think I have it right, but I want to ask, are you sure? You have a limited client base; it's mostly companies in western Canada. Do you have any evidence, other than what you find from your client base, that would apply more generally?
