Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here with us.
Ms. Allen, you've just touched on a few points. We have debated this issue of how investors look at Canada, and we had a good conversation, a good exchange, between my colleague Mr. Steinley and Michael McCain in front of committee. There were discussions about the carbon tax and whether that was the sole purpose of the decision-making process of whether or not a company will decide to invest. Mr. McCain bluntly rejected that statement, saying there are multiple factors. Taxes are just a small portion of it. While important, they're a small portion of it, with proximity to primary goods and proximity to access to labour being important, and obviously trained labour being important.
From your members' perspective, would you say that taxes are the most important perspective for investment? I'm looking at McCain, who's made a $680-million investment. There are a bunch of other companies out west that are making major investments. I'm just trying to get a good picture from your members' perspective of whether or not they're not making these particular investments because of that.
