There's no question that there's data now to support your claim that money is leaving the country. Canadian investment in the United States is up two-thirds. U.S. investment in Canada is down by half. President Trump's made it clear his goal is to take our money and our businesses. Clearly the policies of this government are helping him do both.
My next question is about the revenues to the government from higher taxes. Data from CRA showed that the wealthiest 1% of Canadians paid $4.5 billion less in the first full year after the government's tax changes came into effect. They were supposed to pay $3 billion more according to the Liberal platform. There's a gap of almost $7 billion.
Recently, the government tried to bring in some very aggressive tax increases on small businesses that are incorporated. Did you see evidence that people reacted to the threat of those changes by withdrawing cash from their businesses or making the decision to leave and pay an exit tax in the 2017 year?
