Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of the witnesses for your great testimony today.
We've heard a lot on this committee about infrastructure spending and how it stimulates growth and about budgets and running deficits to ensure that you can invest in infrastructure.
My question is to Mr. Ferreira.
The ideological differences on infrastructure spending and running deficits to spend on infrastructure will be debated for years to come, but you mentioned something really interesting about corporations holding a lot of cash. That's no secret to anybody. To encourage them to spend some of their money to stimulate the economy, you spoke about depreciation policy in Canada versus the U.S. In the U.S. it was six years, while in Canada it was 13 years. I found that really interesting, that an adoption of an aggressive depreciation valuation in Canada will help stimulate the economy.
Do you have any metrics to say how, or can you expand on that idea to say how it would stimulate the economy?
