Finance committee  I appreciate your objectivity, then, Mr. Giroux. I see that I have about a minute left, so I will put to you the following question. The TD Bank a number of months ago issued an opinion saying that if we were to follow the U.S. in significantly cutting our corporate tax rate, do

Finance committee  Thank you very much.

Finance committee  Sure, and I certainly agree. I'm glad our government has invested in retraining, for example, and made that a priority, but obviously there will be more to do. I ask the question, not only because of my interest in it, but I think this is really a matter of concern for a lot of

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for being here. Governor, you know London, Ontario, very well because you studied at Western University. That's where I'm from. That's the city I have the honour of representing in the House of Commons. As I think you know, London sustained itsel

Finance committee  I'm asking because I'm a member of Parliament, as I said at the outset, from London, Ontario. Recently, the tourism association of our city, Tourism London, under the leadership of John Winston, has put forward with the city council a provision now that's being introduced by hote

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. Mr. Nantais, I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on the USMCA. As you well know, under the terms of the revised NAFTA, cars will be traded tariff-free as long as 40% to 45% of the automobile is made by workers making a minimu

Finance committee  I have only five minutes, so I want to shift to the Hotel Association of Canada. Mr. Lund, right at the end of your presentation you advocated for greater funds for tourism marketing purposes, which I sympathize with. However, there's only so much that can be spent in a budget.

Finance committee  Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Peter Fragiskatos, a member of Parliament for the riding of London North Centre. I sit on the governing side as well. I am very much looking forward to hearing from you today.

Finance committee  Modesty is a virtue, so thank you very much.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of you. My community of London, Ontario, has for some time been in the process of transitioning away from a manufacturing-based economy towards something quite different, embracing innovation, embracing firms that are pursuing R and D, an

Finance committee  It's appreciated, Mr. Alexander. As I said, I don't have much time. I have certainly looked at your brief. Taxation matters a great deal. Regulation matters a great deal. One of the things we've heard a lot at this committee is thoughts on regulation and taxation. I just make the

Finance committee  Good morning, everyone. I'm Peter Fragiskatos from London, Ontario. I'm thrilled to be with you this morning and am very much looking forward to your presentations. Thank you.

Finance committee  It's a reasonable view. I read his comments in the Financial Post and then looked at his testimony to the Senate committee on banking, I think. I come from academia. I have respect for anyone who has studied this. Jack Mintz has studied taxation his whole life and hasn't found a

Finance committee  Okay. That's very clear. Ms. Watts, you recommend that the government take action on the issue of elder abuse in Canada. The scale of the problem is striking indeed. According to Statistics Canada, one out of eight Canadian seniors experiences elder abuse each and every year.

Finance committee  The previous government had introduced an awareness campaign. Are you saying that it wasn't effective?
