Thank you very much, and thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a financial background; I'm a CFA charter holder. I'm also an engineer, so I think in systems.
I just came off an election in which I got to talk to people at their doors, not in a committee setting. Many people—not 40,000; they're not all living in St. Paul's—told me about their venture investments. They'll be taking them offshore where they'll be subject to lower taxes and where they won't be diluting their equity as much. Here, they have to compensate for the higher tax rate.
We're compensating people less. They're diluting themselves more. They're going to go to the U.S.
My question is this: In a country where we already have a progressive tax rate, which can be significant and heavy, are we not sacrificing our economy, our future economy, our GDP and our jobs by knocking up the inclusion rate to 66%?
