Yes, you would understand correctly. That's our position, and I recognize that a lot of people take that to be an extreme position.
I think that the onus really needs to be reversed. We're arriving at a point in this country.... I spend a lot of time in Ottawa around a lot of lobbyists and a lot of industries, and their marching orders are to see what's on offer from government. Their marching orders are to see what the government is prepared to give them. I think that's a very unhealthy business climate for any country to be cultivating.
I am not an advocate of making the perfect the enemy of the good, so I recognize that it's not going to be “snap your fingers and nobody gets any subsidies”. However, I just want to always put out there that there are ways to help businesses that don't involve direct taxpayer support. I am alarmed that, in some cases, a lot of groups and individuals seem to assume that what we need to do any time there is a problem with a business or an industry is to run to the rescue with a bucket of taxpayer money. I think that should be an instinct that we need to check.
