Thank you. I have three questions. I'll try to keep the questions brief, and if you could try to be succinct in your answers, I would be most appreciative.
Mr. Davidson, as a Conservative member of Parliament, I'm sure it's no surprise that our belief is that the private sector and not government creates jobs and drives economic growth. As an Alberta MP, though, I consistently hear from the business community about the piling-on effect.
I'll give you an example from Alberta. Each of these in its own right may be good or may not be good, but you have a carbon tax, an increase in the minimum wage, and municipal governments putting a head tax on each head at feedlots.
At the end of the day there's just one taxpayer, so I would like to get your sense of whether or not it's time for governments generally to really start to address this piling-on effect.
