If I can add this too, we're in unique economic circumstances, and you can count on it that every other country is going to be vigorous in the amount of industry it engages with and keeps as part of its national economy. I mentioned the automotive industry. People are thinking about the old car technology. It is a significant technology opportunity. There's a different methodology and technology for gas stations. I was meeting with the Ontario government. They're trying to get that located in Ontario.
So we have to be very progressive and aggressive in getting some of those technology industry jobs in Canada as a base, because when the economy turns around—and it will—what are we going to be left with? I mentioned that I work for the mining industry; it's in the ground. We have to get different things in the ground, and the best way to do that is to have customers, to have leading clusters. Maybe it's green technology, maybe it's automotive, maybe it's different applications, but the number one thing is that we should be a proud customer of many Canadian technologies, and we're not. And we should aggressively pursue and negotiate with the multinationals that work with us to expand their R and D mandates to give them access to those innovation tax credits. And there are difficulties there too. We're meeting with the CRA on Thursday, because we're not delivering those efficiently.
The difference between Canada and other groups is that we're very much for the innovation nation. This is not an appeal for a special interest group. We want to see other flagships in this country 10 years from now, and the mix of policies, conditions, and terms we've set out now within the nation is simply not good enough.
