Thanks for the question.
Research leading to creating new firms, for example, also results in tax being paid by the company to the government--provincial and federal governments. Therefore that's a benefit, a return.
Research and innovation or science and technology as documented, especially in the OECD, has provided enormous benefit. Several of you were asking about, or commented on, productivity. The OECD claims that if you increase research in industry by 1%, not only productivity, but personal income will increase by a factor of 12. Even if that is double what it really is, that's a big increase. That's why it is really important that we address the industry R and D issue.
