We as a committee had the opportunity to be in Fort McMurray. We saw some of the equipment. It's pretty impressive equipment, and they're going 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For that equipment in the oil sands, does that capital cost allowance actually reflect the economic life of that particular asset, and in particular, those big shovels, those big trucks, etc.? Is the industry in fact turning over that equipment once a year?</p>",

Vous avez raison.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"504331\" data-originallang=\"en\">Permettez-moi d'en venir \u00e0 la question plus vaste maintenant, selon laquelle l'amortissement ou la d\u00e9duction pour amortissement devrait tenir compte de la dur\u00e9e de vie \u00e9conomique d'un bien. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"504332\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je m'adresse \u00e0 notre t\u00e9moin de Calgary. Le comit\u00e9 a eu l'occasion de se rendre \u00e0 Fort McMurray. Nous avons vu certains des \u00e9quipements utilis\u00e9s. C'est passablement impressionnant et le travail ne cesse jamais. Les activit\u00e9s se poursuivent 24 heures par jour et 365 jours par an. Au sujet de l'\u00e9quipement utilis\u00e9 dans les projets de sables bitumineux, est-ce que la d\u00e9duction pour amortissement tient r\u00e9ellement compte de la dur\u00e9e de vie \u00e9conomique d'un bien pr\u00e9cis et, en particulier, de ces pelles et de ces camions \u00e9normes, etc.? Est-ce qu'en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 l'industrie renouvelle ces \u00e9quipements une fois par ann\u00e9e? </p>"
