Sure. From my standpoint, if you look at setting up a new factory, for example, there are a lot of subsidies that are offered by a lot of countries that Canada, typically, doesn't offer when you're looking at where you're going to place a factory, which we should be aware of and understand.
In terms of R and D tax credits, I know the federal government has been looking at changing the R and D tax credits. They had a panel get together. It looked like they were slanting towards more software-based companies in terms of their approach for applying tax credits, and I think that's a mistake. They need to understand that manufacturers generate a lot of jobs in Canada. We do a lot of R and D in our company. We have 75 people in R and D. So making sure that we have a competitive R and D tax credit is critical.
I can give you an example. In Turkey, they have technology zones where you can hire engineers and they actually pay no federal income tax, so it draws a lot of key technical people wanting to work in these regions. Also, it's easy to recruit foreign workers into Turkey; they have a well-defined process that you can bring people into. I'm just referencing Turkey because I spent about a month there in the last 12 months looking at whether we should be expanding our operations there.
Those are two examples of where I think we can be more competitive from a tax perspective.
