Dear XXXXXXXXXX
The Honourable Otto Jelinek, Minister of National Revenue, has asked me to reply to your letter of May 5, 1993, requesting reports comparing the after-tax positions of manufacturing and research and development operations carried on in Canada with such operations carried on in the United States and other countries.
I enclose the following publications provided by the Department of Industry, Science and Technology and entitled:
- International Competitiveness of Canadian R & D Tax Incentives: An Update;
- Canada-U.S. Tax Competitiveness in Manufacturing Industries.
These publications were prepared by the Conference Board of Canada with assistance from the Department of Industry, Science and Technology.
In addition to the above, the following publication appears to relate to your field of interest and may be obtained directly from the publisher or your local public library:
- Relationships between R & D Productivity Growth in Canada and other Major Industrialized Countries by Pierre Mohnen, published by Renouf Publishing Co. Limited, C.P. 291, Montreal, Quèbec, H9H 4K0.
I hope that you will find this material helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Pierre Gravelle, Q.C.
May 31, 1993
