Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's my pleasure to speak here again.
I understand we've been having a conversation with the member opposite, and it's not the first time we've talked about choice and vision.
I agree with the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce that it's really important in terms of tax implications. We won't go into that, but we really agree, and I think the other side agrees too. We agree also with the fact that when we talk about corporate tax cuts, in the end, it's individuals who pay. We agree with that.
In terms of choosing between corporate taxes benefiting companies that are making a lot of profits versus the small businesses, here in the opposition we have been suggesting reducing the tax rate for small businesses. We believe that's where you actually create jobs, and that's how you create jobs that stay in Canada, rather than having corporate tax rate cuts, and seeing businesses leave. For example, Electrolux was a company in Quebec that benefited from the corporate tax rate and actually went to the U.S.
Also when you look at how much money is being given...Mr. Marston mentioned the profits being given to the CEOs, but also, if you look, right now you have $500 billion in terms of private sector money not being reinvested. So what we're saying is that you have to reinvest. You have to have incentives, and right now, just by going with a corporate tax rate cut giveaway, you're not reinvesting in the economy.
Ms. Kozak, can you expand on that and give us your views on how we should invest in Canada, and how it will help if we reduce small business tax rates?
