We're going to need to pay for it somehow. We've all seen the debt and the structural deficit that we have. If we're not prepared to raise taxes and we're only prepared to make modest concessions on cuts to services.... We want to maintain our triple-A credit rating. I always point out that if Canada joined the European Union it would be the sixth country in the European Union with a triple-A credit rating. These ratings are in high demand among allies. It's in our interest to preserve that so we can borrow at lower rates. Then, this is the way to generate the revenue, and I think we can do this in a way to bring all Canadians on board, because with this revenue, as I say, we can pay for new social services, pay down the debt, pay for the defence and pay for the energy transition.
I think we can all win.
