Absolutely, Mr. Speaker. I have already said that I read the Bloc Quebecois report on corporations with great interest.
I think the federal government's situation was accurately described by Quebec's Minister of Finance, Bernard Landry. In referring to his own situation, he was actually answering the Bloc's question, and I quote what he said: "Regarding the tax burdens on corporations", because that is what the Leader of the Opposition referred to, "these tend to diminish the yield on their investments. Companies lose the incentive to invest, which means fewer jobs. Furthermore, as the tax burden in Quebec increases, foreign companies are less likely to invest here and create jobs. It is clear that higher tax levels kill jobs".
That is what Bernard Landry had to say, and I think the Quebec Minister of Finance is right.
