Natural Resources committee I'll be brief. I just wanted to articulate that I think it's a real opportunity for us as a country to look at a nation-building opportunity.

Finance committee Thank you again, Mr. Chair. It's great to be back. I hope the weather improves on the island so you can get those wonderful potatoes out of the ground. We have experienced some interesting weather here in Alberta, as well. Thank you very much for the opportunity to address the

Mark Scholz
Finance committee I could certainly share with you a number of studies that would corroborate a lot of the pieces we're concerned about with respect to both taxation and jobs. I'll just reiterate my earlier comment when it comes to the decisions that service companies are making because we don't h
