On a general or aggregate level, you're absolutely right that some of the countries that are performing best in the world right now are ones that have high levels of taxation, high levels of social investment, high environmental standards, a country like Sweden, for example. It's very interesting that since Sweden entered the EU it has performed very well—they've met their Kyoto targets, and they've done marvellous things restructuring their economy inside. And I think part of the reason their productivity has taken off is because of more competition. They still pay high taxes and have far stronger productivity growth and therefore much more rapidly rising incomes than we do in Canada.
On the specifics, we have a couple of very specific ideas. For example, we were part of the support for the MISWAA task force in Toronto, looking at the working poor and the punitively high marginal tax rates that low-income Canadians pay in many provinces. We focused on that as one of three areas where we're advising tax reform for productivity; there is a need to address head-on the high marginal tax rates of low-income Canadians to have a much smarter and smoother transition from social support to paid employment. A very concrete way of addressing that would be through things like working income tax credits or tax benefits.
So we point to very specific things to try to address the social impact of liberalization and the opening up of markets in Canada.
