Thank you again, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Lavoie, you say in your report that the manufacturing sector is responsible for more than 50% of research and development expenditures in Canada. We have already talked about the difference between large businesses and small and medium enterprises. However, I would like to talk more about that subject.
What proof is there that the job creation benefits arising from expenditures that are made by the government in this area stay in Canada? Is there a difference between large businesses and others?
