Thank you to the witnesses for appearing. It's been very interesting.
I'm going to try to ask one question to the three of you and maybe frame it a little bit differently.
The government needs x amount of money to run the government and provide its services, and I think Mr. Brooks stated the two or three different criteria that it usually follows. If we were to look at just how the government raises revenues, there's always the other side of the equation, which is running programs.
Now, if I look at your brief, Mr. Conway, I'd say you want to simplify the system—and I don't mean to pick on your brief necessarily—but then in turn you say we need money for training, and we need to put money into commercialization and things like that.
What should we do, in your opinion? Should we be throwing all the tax revenue into a pot and then, as the government determines what its priorities are, invest in that fashion; or should there be dedicated funds, whether they be for CPP, QPP, unemployment programs, or any new initiatives? If we were to take, for example, training or commercialization, should there be separate revenue collected so that there is accountability to start one of these programs?
