Madam Speaker, I am glad the hon. member recognizes that people are fleeing Canada in droves and the government in its feeble way is trying to staunch the flow. I would simply point out that many of those people who are leaving are being scared away. They are being punished by high taxes in Canada.
We argue that the government should introduce sweeping tax relief. We argue that we should attract investment here for the high tech and biotech industries by cutting the capital gains inclusion rate in half.
Many Canadians in those fields argue that we are on the right track. I point out that people from Nesbitt Burns, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Chamber of Commerce chastised the government in the strongest possible language for its performance in the budget this time around. These are people who have a vested interest in ensuring that our high tech industry is well looked after. They think that what the government did was extraordinarily feeble.
I would encourage the member to revisit the budget and consider that there is a much better approach and we offered it just a minute ago.
