There are a lot of questions there. Let me deal with a couple of them.
You talked about the fact that Canada's rate was about the average of the G-7. That's a fair comment on where we are right now. Look at a lot of the emerging economies around the world--where India is, and where China is--in terms of where the world's going to be five to ten years down the road. Look at what Ireland has done. That's why I talked about Ireland today. Its tax rate is 12.5%. It's markedly lower than the rates of these other countries, and it has had exponential growth. It's been a Celtic tiger, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be a northern tiger in our hemisphere right now. So that deals with the particular issue around the corporate rate.
I go back to the point that federal spending is around $200 billion, so there's a lot of money on the table. It's really just about living within your means, as I talked about earlier. Families have to live within their means. Companies have to live within their means. So it's about looking at that big expenditure. I don't disagree with the comment made earlier that what those priorities are and where that money is spent are key.
On the question about the CCA, I used to be the ADM of tax policy at the Department of Finance, so it's something that just needs updating on a regular basis. It needs to be looked at to make sure that the write-offs companies get for the assets they buy reflect the economic life of those assets. It could be around technology assets; it could be around in various degrees in various areas. It's just something that needs a regular focus to make sure that the CCA they can claim is in line with the economic life of the asset.
