The Parliamentary Budget Officer is expecting a change in behaviour. I would simply like your team in charge of the economic aspects to be advised that we—at least that's my position and the position of the majority of my colleagues here, I believe—we expect that change in behaviour as a result of the tax being introduced to be factored into their study. I'd like you to convey that message to them.
With respect to the aerospace sector, HEC Montréal professor Jacques Roy has done an impact study that takes that aspect into account. I want to make sure you tell your economist colleagues to ensure that aspect is taken into account. We need to see what their position is on this.
We're hearing that in the aerospace sector alone, 2,000 jobs are on the line as a result of the tax as it stands. As far as the impact study is concerned, we need to get an idea of how the department's study stacks up on that.
