I'll speak on behalf of the Canada innovation corporation, and my colleague can speak with regard to the growth fund.
The approach was taken for a couple of reasons, and there are a number of measures to counterbalance this approach.
In the first instance, laying out, in legislation approved Parliament, the amount of funds that will be available was deemed to provide businesses with whom the corporation will interact a measure of stability and security so that they understand that the government is here to provide this support and funding in the long term, which is deemed important for businesses that might take on multi-year research and development projects.
There are some counterbalancing measures in the legislation that are designed to limit the amount of funding that can go year to year in order to prevent an accumulation of funds. We think that there's a lot of demand, so we don't see that, but there is a limit to measure that. There's also an ability for the minister to withhold funds if ever there was deemed a reason to need to do that.
We believe that there are some counterbalances and that the signal to business is an important feature.
