Mr. Speaker, $100 million a day is based on the reduction of a million barrels a day of export capacity towards our main trading partner, the United States of America. It is based on the price of oil, obviously, that is going to be there at times and not there at times. We could say that between $60 million and $120 million will be the amount. Multiply that by 365 days and there is a whole bunch of money that is no longer going to be in the Canadian economy. That is just the trading volume.
There are also jobs. Up to 400,000 jobs will be implicated in the manoeuver from the government. Four hundred thousand jobs provide a lot of tax revenue for the government at the end of the day. The main revenue source for the government is actually income tax revenue from individuals.
Of course our trade surplus with the United States is very important as well. The manoeuver would hamper that trade surplus significantly. Inflation would go higher, people would earn less and our country would go upside down economically.
