Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. McCready, that was actually a very good segue into my question. That's exactly where I wanted to head.
You advocate for updating of the tax credit for types of businesses outside of Canada, larger businesses, refundability, all those issues. However, when you look at the government's current share of R and D investment, we're already well above the average of the OECD. You look at a situation where the private sector is lagging behind in relative terms to where we're going, so how could a government be sure that an expansion of investment beyond the $3 billion currently invested each year is going to stimulate and lever the extra share being sought from the private sector?
