Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to my honourable colleagues for giving me permission to speak.
I will just quickly comment. Thankfully the chairman seems to be right on top of things in the Edmonton region. Maybe he's bringing too much money into his community, though.
I'd like to address the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce--I believe Mr. Bobocel--on a couple of different topics. I'd like to follow up on the chairman's topic on accelerating the capital cost allowance.
You have two recommendations here on the accelerated capital cost allowance. I guess first of all I have more of an overarching statement. Do you agree that the former program of accelerating the capital cost allowance didn't include projects like upgraders?
