Mr. Dufort, I'm going to follow the same line.
We believe that you cannot tax your way to prosperity. I think Mr. Winston Churchill said that once. However, in this budget we see that our government is trying to hike taxes on investment, and anyone with experience in entrepreneurship investment sees how that will stifle growth. We're at a moment when capital is harder to access than at any time in the past generation. High interest rates and economic uncertainty mean that many high-growth companies and innovative products struggle to secure growth capital.
You've already made a pretty stark recommendation, but what should we be doing in Bill C-59, and in others, in order to ensure that we get growth and better investment and, as you said, productivity in our companies?
