In other words, when we talk to tax managers and CEOs of companies, they tell us what's happening with respect to their budgets. The oil and gas industry is extremely fluid. They will turn on and turn off a billion-dollar project just like that. It all depends upon what is happening.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3071262\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we find with R and D is that the scientists within these companies have to fight for the opportunity to do this SR and ED work, and they have to fight against other projects. Shale gas would never have occurred; shale gas has been a game changer for all of Canada and North America. That probably wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been able to have some tipping point in the SR and ED program. It's quite often that tipping point that allows those engineers and scientists to go forward with some of these technologies that push the envelope beyond where we ever anticipated it could go.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3071261\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous ne disposons que de donn\u00e9es empiriques. En d'autres termes, quand nous parlons aux administrateurs fiscaux et aux directeurs g\u00e9n\u00e9raux des entreprises, ils nous disent ce qui se passe au chapitre de leur budget. L'industrie du p\u00e9trole et du gaz \u00e9tant extr\u00eamement fluide, ils peuvent d\u00e9cider de lancer ou d'arr\u00eater un projet d'un milliard de dollars en un claquement de doigts. Tout d\u00e9pend de ce qui se passe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3071262\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous constatons que les scientifiques qui effectuent de la R-D dans ces entreprises doivent faire des pieds et des mains pour avoir l'occasion d'effectuer des travaux de RS-DE et affronter la concurrence d'autres projets. Le gaz de schiste, qui a chang\u00e9 la donne au Canada et en Am\u00e9rique du Nord, n'aurait probablement jamais connu un tel d\u00e9veloppement si les entreprises n'avaient pu b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier du programme de RS-DE, lequel permet souvent aux ing\u00e9nieurs et aux scientifiques de mettre au point certaines technologies qui permettent d'aller beaucoup loin qu'on aurait pu le pr\u00e9voir.</p>"
