I want to follow up on Monsieur Carrier's questions.
Mr. Kobly, you and I know each other well, but I want you to pay very close attention to his questions, because if this committee is going to recommend what you're recommending, I think the Alberta chamber, the Edmonton chamber, and the national chamber do have to answer the question about what the short-term fiscal cost is, and you can provide that later on if you want. But there is a short-term fiscal cost. I think we have to be upfront about that.
Your argument is that over the long term it's a deferral in taxation, so you make that up over time. I accept that argument, but you have to show the upfront fiscal cost, what it takes in terms of deferral time, and then I think you have to make an argument as to economic benefit. I think it's a very good idea that you have provided a letter from the Building Trades of Alberta. Obviously that has a greater impact on my colleagues than perhaps the Alberta chamber might on its own. So I think it's a very good partnership there. But you can address it now or you can certainly provide it, but I think those questions do need to be answered to this committee.
