As part of our submission, we brought forward a report that was done by the Conference Board of Canada, which says for every $100 million, 1,500 knowledge worker jobs are created in this country; that for every dollar spent, the GDP is increased by $1.34. These are knowledge worker jobs that are dedicated to the digital economy, which Canada hopes to become. And there are many other economic numbers in that report that are exceedingly positive.
