Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Very briefly, we've already heard today that there's a potential amendment coming line by line by the Liberal Party of Canada, and I would like the PBO to look at that amendment and cost that out for us. It may make a major reduction in the cost of this. So I think the PBO should be further consulted on this.
I think the Department of Finance should be consulted on this. I'd like to invite them. Mr. Pacetti just talked about the difference between a 100% tax credit, which is the full amount, or other tax credits at around 17% that you are able to bring forward and deduct from your tax payable. And let's make sure the mover of the bill understands what we're doing.
I'd like to see the mover of the bill again, because I think there are some more questions that I certainly didn't get to. And based on the testimony that we heard today by the PBO, I think we should be calling Professor Finnie from the University of Ottawa to come over and talk to us about mobility of labour and what the real effect of this bill could be. That's why I'm in favour of the extension.
I think more work needs to be done to make this a more palatable bill.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
