I had an opportunity to speak to some people in the province of Ontario in the Ministry of Research and Innovation who were almost off the record about this, but said that the particular proposal was a disaster. The problem was that it was limited; because of the eligibility criteria changing all the time, it's somewhat of a moving target and there'd be only a handful of people who would continue to qualify. There would be no new entrants and no realistic chance of commercializing R and D being done here in Canada, certainly in smaller institutions or smaller groups.
I appreciate that you represent much larger organizations, so allow me to shift to something that is of grave concern to the committee and I think of grave concern to Canadians in general. In your industries generally, do you have a concern with respect to the implications for the service sector in terms of lawful access questions? There has been some concern that other service sectors seem to be having some difficulty--ISPs pitted against ISPs--on subjects that maybe have delved into areas of law but that nevertheless have an impact on services.
