Thank you for the question.
I reinforce what you have said about impacts from increasing corporate taxation, but there are plenty of studies that show also the impacts of not doing so.
First of all, remember that immigrant investors, if they are not coming here to invest, will go away. If we are not able to attract them to come and invest, we will not get this money, if it's not invested here. It's money we will never get if we don't have programs that will make it attractive for them to come here.
We invite the committee and everybody to look at the study we published exactly 11 months ago, in December 2015, about the economic impacts of immigration. We have a specific section about positive economic impacts from immigrant entrepreneurs and immigrant investors, and we have all the details about how we can generate more and what we have lost in reducing the attractiveness of the investment immigrant.
I am also concerned about the impact that can happen. Immigrant investors that get into real estate and create an artificial increase in the value of the real estate are not necessarily, I would say, the best way of looking at this. It's the same with losing ownership, like in agriculture sectors, our farms. It's always delicate to go there. But it is important to bring this investment.
In Quebec, by the way, a large portion of a program that deals with the first experience of working for immigrants is funded by investments from the investor immigrants. We can generate a huge leverage with that money in different programs, and I think it's a good idea.
