Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I want to thank the witness for joining us from beautiful downtown Bedford, Nova Scotia.
Mr. Johnston, you talked about some of the things you think could help on the cost side. You talked about tax programs, federal support, and labour-based credits, for example.
I see on your website it says:
Using a series of government tax incentives and research grants we are able to keep our development costs down while providing top rate quality.
I guess there are two parts to this. First, can you share your experience with the committee in terms of the kinds of grants you've had? Is there too much red tape? What's worked well? What hasn't worked? What changes would you recommend to make the system that's there more useful to companies like yours? On top of that, could you describe the kinds of things we should be doing in terms of tax programs or labour-based credits?
You can do all that in 20 seconds, right?
