On coordination, it is complex, but it is in the interests of both sides, federal and provincial, to have a structure that promotes investment. So there's an interest there, and usually if there is an interest you can find a way.
One of my concerns is that we don't resist regulation at all, but often the federal departments that have the responsibility don't have the resources to be efficient. Environmental regulations are a good example. The departments that get tasked with regulating a particular project need the resources to do it. We'll get asked for information and we'll provide it overnight and then it takes three weeks to get feedback on it. So regulate, but resource.
Second, on labour challenges, particularly in Alberta and B.C. right now, the labour market is of course really tight. Wages and competition are both so high for professionals. It's a real challenge finding and keeping skills. But it's not just in western Canada, it's around the world.
In the businesses we're in--resources and infrastructure, oil and gas--the expertise squeeze is formidable wherever we go. I don't have a number for that, but we have about 18,000 employees around the world and two or three times that number working on projects on contract. It's a challenge to find the resources, these days, every time.
Third, with regard to corporate tax, even after full phasing in we are still going to be higher than the competition. We've looked at that. OECD countries right now range from 12.5% to 34%. Even with all the phasing in, we're still going to be higher, with federal and provincial put together, than a lot of our competition.
