Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll try to answer that quickly. I'm not quite sure that the statement in paragraph 7 is exactly what you say it's saying. I think what is important is that when you look at the tax system, you find that the federal government reduces a tax--fantastic--and then the province adds a tax. So as Nancy was pointing out, when you're looking at the costs or the challenge for investment for that particular company or plant, it's not only a Quebec tax but it's a Quebec tax plus a federal tax and sometimes a municipal tax, which all add up together. Therefore, we believe you have to look at the total fiscal package together in terms of taxes. If you look at Quebec's tax regime over the last four or five years, it has deteriorated in terms of its favourability to business. For example, capital tax is a classic area where you have federal and provincial capital taxes. It's very complicated. If you eliminate one and don't do it at the provincial level, you actually gain nothing. Hence, we do encourage a holistic look at the tax structure, and that, of course, ends up including spending and revenues, etc.
