Well, I was really referring to the companies within Canada. There's a concern in the business community that because of the fragile situation and the banks withholding credit, they weren't getting involved that much.
Mr. Durnie, I will turn to you. We were recently in Whitehorse and heard about the infrastructure problems there. The transmission lines there are 50 to 60 years old. You mentioned IT. I would point out that their broadband is collapsing around them. So it's very clear that locations like that can't afford to sustain and maintain their own infrastructure.
We've been saying to this government that there's a balance between corporate tax cuts and how deep they run, and the needs we see day to day in this place.
We've moved substantially and are now in the middle of the G-7 as far as tax cuts go, and there's the resulting loss in fiscal capacity. They're trying to find $2.8 billion. All they have to look at doing, as Ms. Bittman has indicated, is stopping the next tax break and they've got that money right there.
But in response to that need for investment across our country, I am wondering if you could comment.
