Absolutely. I'll start with the SR and ED program. A few years ago that was a very well used, very appreciated tax incentive for businesses, both small and large. The changes that happened in 2012 made it a lot more complicated and less useful for the larger companies, so you're seeing a resulting drop in R and D spending by those large companies in this country. They move to other jurisdictions where the tax arrangements are more favourable.
