Thank you, Mr. Chair. There's just never enough time for all these wonderful questions.
I like what I've been hearing recently about both grants and tax credits. We have to try to strike the right balance to foster innovation and research and development through a balanced approach.
I know, Ms. Lank and Mr. Kee, that there's perhaps a difference in approach with respect to the ability to patent software in business practices. Of course, in the United States it is allowed, and in Europe it isn't.
We're currently negotiating the Canada-Europe trade agreement. I'm wondering if each of you might have an opinion on whether during those negotiations Canada should be trying to bring Europe more in line with the United States on that issue or if we should be aligning more with Europe on that issue.
