Mr. Speaker, in response to the hon. member's question about trade with Europe, the hon. member said that the lack of trade or the reduction in trade with Canada was particularly due to the high corporate taxes in Canada.
Perhaps the hon. member would like to travel to Europe at some time, or I could provide him with some reading material which shows that most European countries have higher corporate taxes, certainly higher payroll taxes, than we have in Canada. The member opposite is often on his feet advocating that payroll taxes are job killers and reduce the outflow of the economy. Yet he makes reference to Europe.
When I talk about foreign trade zones it presents an opportunity for the hon. member to go back to his community and do his part in terms of trying to increase trade with European countries, to use Canada as the gateway to the NAFTA countries, and to ensure that perhaps individuals in his community have the opportunity to employ and/or set up the entrepreneurial corporations I have described.
