Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Canada is a high-tax country relative to our largest trading partner -- the burden of taxes is almost seven per cent of GDP higher in Canada than in the U.S. That creates enormous competitive pressure.
45% : That over-reliance on income taxes is costly.
38% : Entrepreneurs and innovators take on less risk, investors pass up projects because taxes on expected returns are too high, and people work less, invest less in their future or even move to other jurisdictions.
