Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today and for their preparations for the committee.
I'll start with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Of course, Canada is facing a labour shortage, so, as we always should, I think it's incumbent upon us as stewards of the economy to do the right thing and to make sure that workers are fully incentivized for the hard work that they do. Canadians, of course, work extremely hard—some very long hours—and it's my belief that the government is taking too large a portion and that doing things like tripling the carbon tax and increasing payroll taxes will do nothing but disincentivize work.
Mr. Terrazzano, would you care to comment?
