Does the minister agree with us in saying that a blanket tax cut, in no matter what sector of activity, means that sectors such as the forestry sector, which really needed it, didn't get anything? In fact, a company that didn't show a profit was unable to get a tax reduction since they hadn't paid any taxes. So, his presentation makes a kind of false assumption, in telling us that it's helping businesses.
Does this not prove that part of the difficulties, of which we were well aware before the current recession, lie in the fact that, ideologically, he is refusing to provide government intervention in some sectors of the economy? In fact, the Conservatives are categorically saying no, except when it comes to the auto sector, which is concentrated in the home province of the Minister of Finance.
