One of the items in the budget that was pushed by this committee ages ago in a manufacturing report that we commissioned was to have the capital cost reduction allowance extended over a series of years. The budget still has that allowance in place until 2011.
Why is there no consideration being given to extending that for a longer period of time? What I hear from a lot of industries is that they need several years to plan out some of the larger equipment purchases and they're looking for stability there before they make their investments.
