The evidence is the fact that companies were leaving Canada and refused to invest in Canada. The truth is that the research community in Canada was suffering. The truth is that there has been a completely turnaround in regard to that.
The other fact, as true as I am standing here, is that drug prices in Canada are lower than they are in the United States, lower than they are in most European countries, and they are saving lives. There is a cost to research and there is a cost to not doing something. We can sit down and go on forever with what we have, but if there is a way to improve it a government takes a risk and does it. That is what we did. That is what the present government is doing and I applaud it for that. We need the research. We need those new drugs and we need those lives saved. It is as simple as that.
