Most definitely. Looking at the most recent budget, it was a good year for manufacturers with respect to the accelerated capital costs allowance, which will allow for further investments in machinery and equipment, and write that off over a period of time.
The challenges are there with respect to investments in R and D in the manufacturing sector in particular. That's why some of the things announced in the budget were critically important. Those investments in things like R and D have to move in lockstep with investments in growth export promotion.
Why has there been a decline in that R and D investment? There are a whole host of reasons. The point is that companies need to start doing more of it. Access to capital has been an issue. Obviously, there are a whole host of subsectors within manufacturing that are still recovering from the last recession, but I know that companies will take advantage of some of the positive announcements in the budget last week, and that should lead to increased investment in R and D.
