This is a good segue to take, because businesses can be more successful when they can allocate their capital in the most efficient way, and allocating capital in a regime of higher taxes means they're going to be automatically gravitating towards places where there are lower taxes, which means not here. It's in the United States. It's elsewhere in the world where capital can be taxed at a lower rate, and we've already talked about that in my earlier questioning about venture capital.
Again, I just moved a riding from a 20-some-odd-point Liberal win to a couple of point wins for me. One of the issues I heard at the door was capital taxes. It had an influence on my election, so I'm very passionate about what my constituents were saying about venture capital and building small businesses. Venture is not just building technology companies; it's construction, trades and other sorts of manufacturing as well, which will be investing offshore.
This leads me to ask Ms. Wilson about our global competitiveness and how you are seeing the success of your business and the returns that you can make on your capital versus what you're seeing with your competitors in the United States.
