To respond to the question about alternative measures and perhaps to the Liberal member's question about how this would be replaced, I fundamentally do not understand why we need provisions to provide compensation to risk capitalists for changes in the capital environment, in the operating environment. This is risk capitalism, and if governments decide that there are new priorities as new conditions emerge, they need to be able to deal with those and not compensate people whose business model has become obsolete.
I wonder if I could also respond in part to the previous question about northern conditions that was directed to the NDP member.
