Thanks, Madam Chair. I appreciate the responses from the Minister. I am about tax fairness, and I just want to give the Minister a couple of ways in which she could raise $1.4 million for the public record. She could actually keep the rental fees that are in the current exploration licence for Husky Energy and carry those over into the significant discovery licence and raise $1.4 million a year. That's one option; she doesn't really have to do very much on that one.
The other one is, and I've said this before, we're one of the few jurisdictions in Canada that only has three personal income tax brackets. Alberta has five, and they went to that in 2016. British Columbia has five; they went to that in 2014. New Brunswick has six; they went to that in 2015. Newfoundland and Labrador has five; they did that in 2015. Nova Scotia has five; they did that in 2010. Ontario has five; they did that in 2014. Yukon has five; they did that in 2015. The federal government went to five in 2016. I don't understand why we still only have three. That is something I want to encourage the Finance Minister to look at.
I am about tax fairness, and we do need to help the least advantaged people in our society. That means sometimes rich people have to pay more, and that includes me. I am happy to have that public debate and discussion. There are a couple of areas that I would like the Minister to seriously consider to replace the lost revenue from this lowering of the small business tax rate. Thanks, Madam Chair. I think that's all I've got for now. Thanks.
