What's interesting is that it's not just Barbados, it's also the United States and it's Ireland as well. Some rather advanced western democracies are the recipients of this capital flight from Canada.
When you talk about a tax on the capital, I'm not sure if you're suggesting a Tobin tax or something like that. Certainly if it's on foreign exchange, then I certainly hope not. But if you're talking about putting in competitive rates of taxation so that investors decide to keep their money in this country, that is something that should be supported.
And to answer the question on where we should not be helping corporations, if you want to look at one budget to cut, it's the corporate welfare budget. In the past, the NDP in particular has also applauded getting rid of funding for large corporations. Why are we funding large profit corporations like Bombardier—well, it's not so profitable these days—or Research in Motion or General Electric? It's far better to bring down taxes on all companies in order to give them an equal chance to compete here for investor dollars, as opposed to trying to pick winners and losers. If you keep tax rates high, money is still going to continue to flow overseas, and we find those that we end up subsidizing in the end are not really achieving very good results economically.
