I would answer that by simply pointing out that tax is a very important cost of carrying on business. Business people like to know what the tax rules are. For almost two months we've had this controversy about what this actually means. The minister now seems to be saying it doesn't really mean what the March 19 statement said because somehow the elimination of the interest deduction in Canada is going to be tied to double-dipping. Presumably that means that if there's no double-dipping you're going to get the interest deduction in Canada.
This is a very unhelpful circumstance, where people are effectively reading the National Post daily to see what the latest version of this idea is.
