Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses. This is a very interesting discussion.
I want to direct my first question to Mr. Whyte.
The one advantage you have over every other witness who has appeared before us is that everybody you speak to, including the members of this committee, probably started at one time or another in the food service sector or worked in that sector. So some of us have a bit of knowledge about working behind a counter or as a waiter, or whatever.
But I want to ask you this. This government clearly has a low-tax plan to promote the competitiveness of the Canadian economy over others, and to create jobs and to strengthen our economy. How would you and your members view an increase in corporate taxes? What would that do? Given the tight margins you're operating under right now, what would that do to your membership?
