Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to receive that question. I approved the loan. I recommended it to my colleagues.
It is an $87 million investment in research and development repayable on a royalty basis as aircraft are sold. We will make money on that loan.
Not only that, I am surprised to hear such a question from the Reform Party days after its fresh start. Reformers put their document out saying that a Reform government will recognize the crucial place of research and development in our economy by what? By increasing current levels of funding for research and development for industry. I agree with that.
