Mr. Allen, there are two parts. Maybe we're a little unusual. I guess we are in regard to reinvestment. It has to do with what Mr. Matters was saying about closing down the facility and exporting the logs. Some other folks have talked about small and medium entrepreneurs. This gets back to having a big corporate structure that has a global view of the world, which is fine. The capital moves around the world, and that's what's happening here. We told the provincial government in New Brunswick that we've lost a lot of world-class companies. They didn't leave the business; they just left New Brunswick. These people have deep pockets, but they're big and they have the capacity to invest.
You have folks like ourselves, who are much smaller but local. New Brunswick is home, like the Maritimes and the state of Maine. So for us to shut a facility down causes a lot of heartache. We know the people. We know the communities. We agonize over this, and we try to limp through.
We try to invest as much as we can to make sure we're competitive, because we know we cannot run our businesses with old equipment and technology.
This is one the federal government is not going to fix. It's going to be that whatever they do, they do for everybody. To answer your question, encourage the tax system to support this. If you are a private company, for a lot of entrepreneurs and smaller and mid-sized companies, raising capital is a big job. If you're large, you'll raise capital around the world on the stock market. If you're much smaller, if you're private, the capital comes from the banks or it comes from your private equity investors or your cashflow. That's why I get back to the structure of financing. If you want to invest, if you want the technology, you need to create a vehicle for it. That's why I think the tax system is a good way to do it. There are opportunities to finance things.
It's not going to happen that you didn't invest and you're still in business. You're either going to invest or you're going out of business. That's what is happening in this country today. There's no question about it.
Is that satisfactory on the first part?
