In fact, when we talk about the notion of economic interventionism, what we see, and what Mr. Turnbull seemed to be pointing out, is its visible aspect. However, French author Frédéric Bastiat also talked about the importance of what we don't see.
Take, for example, all the projects that never see the light of day because the private sector is crowded out due to government spending when too much money has been taxed. What we also don't see are all the projects that never see the light of day because of regulation and don't get a pass under Bill C‑15. Therefore, plenty of projects could get off the ground in Canada, but we're not seeing them nor will we ever see them, because there is too much taxation, too much interventionism and too much regulation.
