Mr. Hejazi, I will just interject before we move on. I have just a couple of things. I think much of what you're saying, it seems to me, would be the logical conclusion one would draw that results from the trickle-down effect of paying little tax or no tax. You're saying it's good for the Canadian economy, Canadian businesses, if there's increased trade. You're saying companies are more productive if they trade more. You're saying these are advantages that will lead to Canadian companies being able to be global leaders, and so on.
It would seem to me that a natural consequence of paying less tax would be that it would contribute in a positive way to all those indicators. What I guess you understand, or I hope you understand, is that this isn't about just helping Canadian companies be global leaders. We also have a responsibility to make suggestions as to how we can have a fair tax system and how our country can derive revenues fairly from Canadian corporations and individuals.
It would seem there's a balancing act to be done here. Now, other jurisdictions have not taken the position that unlimited tax-free availability of deductions is a good thing for all their companies. They've taken steps to limit the degree to which deductibility can occur against their domestic tax obligations.
