Uh so we need to get higher rates of investment.
matched
Uh this is almost guaranteed to produce it.
matched
You're not just getting a tax rate.
matched
uh a a a broader tax rate cut, you're just getting it o when you actually invest the money.
matched
I think we have to pay attention to the the corporate tax rate at the same time because this measure is going to improve the incentive to make the marginal investment.
matched
But we also have to one eye on on getting people giving people the incentive to locate in the country in the first place.
matched
And the broader tax rate, the corporate tax rate is important for that.
matched
But that being said, this is g this is uh the the best single thing they have done or any government's done in recent times.
matched
To improve the likelihood of higher rates of investment, higher rates of productivity growth, higher rates of GDP growth.
matched
So if I was gonna borrow for anything.
matched
Mm-hmm.
matched
Uh it it it would be to to pay the cost of something like this, the upfront cost of it.
matched
But the broader picture, as you say, is not encouraging.
matched
Um and and we're gonna have to see in the upcoming budget uh how serious, if at all, they are about trying to get to come to grips with our deficit and debt situation.
matched
They're claiming that their their preferred measure of balancing the operating budget is gonna happen one year ahead of ahead of time.
matched
Um but that measure is is only good as uh so far that uh ultimately, even if it's borrowing for investment, you still have to borrow the money, you still have to pay interest on it.
matched
Yeah.
matched
Well, if if it was just a Christmas gift, I I agree.
matched
But th that I do think you can distinguish this from other things.
matched
First of all, compare this to other things that this government and the last have done to try to encourage productivity, where it involves including the investment summit for for that reason for that matter, where it's a lot to do with, you know, particular pet projects of this government or the provincial governments.
