Right now, with the crisis in the manufacturing sector, to say that cutting corporate taxes is creating a healthy environment for the manufacturing sector is not helping manufacturers who do not have a taxable income to take advantage of that, and that point was impressed on me and others here by Jayson Myers, from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. So, clearly, to my way of thinking, the policy the federal government is pursuing is saying in essence that everyone has an equal right to sleep under a bridge. Everyone has an equal right to take advantage of a corporate tax cut, but the reality is, only some can.
