You've raised an interesting point, and I just want to pick up on it a little bit. It's one I've mentioned often. That is, some of the research that's done in the upper end of the spectrum doesn't always result in new products and in technological advances, particularly in our areas. This economy in Canada is about 70% to 75% services—financial services, banking services, insurance, and so forth—yet all of the research that's done that eventually finds its way into those industries or into those endeavours is not counted. It will only now be counted by Statistics Canada.
The other piece of this is that as far as the SR and ED credit goes, none of that research is eligible for SR and ED financing: none of it. Yet one could argue that this is a pretty critical part of our economy.
This is the case we're trying to make, that a lot of the research we fund may not find itself in a new product. It might find itself in a new process. It might find itself in a new financial product or a new way of thinking about how to organize and commercialize in the service sector, not to mention the contributions it makes to policy. If you're saving a dollar, you're generating a dollar for the people of Canada. I really don't want folks to forget that. That's part of the innovation question as well. So I thank you for raising that.
