Our idea as to duration is to propose that it be an indefinite extension, in the sense that if we wish our Canadian companies to be competitive globally and continually reinvesting in productivity to compete at a global level, this is a program that will incent companies to do so. It is a move we very much applaud the federal government for making. We would recommend that it be extended, because combined with the value of the Canadian dollar at present, Canadian companies are in a very good position to increase their productivity through the purchase of technology and machinery. That is a position we really need to be taking.
A number of studies in the past while, by the TD Bank and others, have highlighted the declining productivity of the Canadian economy and Canadian companies. If we really want to become competitive and to pass higher-level skills to our employee base to help with increasing economic well-being, this is the kind of credit that should be considered indefinitely.
