Perhaps I can address two points.
I would agree with you, and certainly one of the questions we are trying to dig deeper into is what really matters if we want businesses to invest more in research and development.
The initial stage of the project we've done with Industry Canada suggests that there may be broad policies that would help to encourage more investment across the board. Some of that, for instance, deals with tax policy and the scientific research and development tax credit, whether improving that would help across the board. But I think it's also shown already that there are very specific sectoral issues that determine research and development expenditures. I think that's probably the next stage of our work--to dig deeper into what makes a difference at the sectoral level. There are some obvious things.
In Quebec, the pharmaceutical sector is very strong as a driver of research and development, but there are specific issues on that front dealing with intellectual property rights and with regulatory approval processes that are within government's control that clearly would make a difference if governments want to encourage more.
