I mean, those signals aren't necessarily desirable if you want to grow an economy. For example, right now, the Cargill plant in Guelph is on strike. I have visited that plant in the past, many years ago, and I can tell you that food processing, using that plant as an example, is undercapitalized—severely undercapitalized. If you want to encourage investment, sending signals that you will increase taxes on capital gains, for example, and, of course, the carbon tax policy, are certainly not things that investors want to hear. It's discouraging investments overall, I would say.
