Absolutely, it's the wealth tax. It would bring in more revenue, and it would have some of the same effects as an excess profits tax. We are alone among many of our allies in not having some form of wealth tax. It's in the fiscal tool kit. We just need to make use of it.

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Thank you to all witnesses for their presentations today—a very sincere thank you. I think we had an interesting discussion that covered a lot of angles.
To you, Ms. Laurin, congratulations on setting up an organization during this crisis to get your point across. That's critical. I think it shows what Canadians can do when they come together to try to push their point with governments at all levels. We may not always agree, but getting that information out there is critical.
Thank you all for your presentations today. We wish you well.
For committee members, we have a meeting tomorrow at 10 o'clock. It was originally at 11 o'clock, so remember that we're starting at 10 o'clock Ottawa time tomorrow. The Conservatives get to go to their convention after our meeting, so they'll have a good send-off.
That being said, thank you all, once again.
The meeting is adjourned.
