"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5088247\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I think it is definitely the case; there's no question. In some industries, the oil industry, for example, especially out in western Canada, it's important to remember that if the U.S. goes through with its corporate tax reduction, the new rate of 20% will apply in most economically significant states and will make theirs lower than ours, whereas ours has been lower than theirs up until now. That means that Texas and Ohio will be down to 20%. States like Michigan and New York will be down to 26%. This will definitely affect investments, and projects will definitely be invested in in the U.S. rather than in Canada. We are definitely seeing this type of behaviour in some industries, especially the capital-intensive industries such as oil.</p>",

Dans certaines industries, l'industrie p\u00e9troli\u00e8re, par exemple, surtout dans l'Ouest canadien, il est important de ne pas oublier que si les \u00c9tats-Unis adoptent une r\u00e9duction d'imp\u00f4t des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s, le nouveau taux de 20 % s'appliquera dans les \u00c9tats les plus \u00e9conomiquement avanc\u00e9s et que leur taux tombera plus bas que le n\u00f4tre, alors que le n\u00f4tre est inf\u00e9rieur au leur jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant. Cela signifie que le Texas et l'Ohio seront ramen\u00e9s \u00e0 20 %. Des \u00c9tats comme le Michigan et New York n'auront plus que 26 %. Cela aura certainement une incidence sur les investissements et il y aura certainement des investissements dans des projets aux \u00c9tats-Unis plut\u00f4t qu'au Canada. Il est certain que nous voyons ce type de comportement dans certaines industries, surtout dans les industries de capital comme le p\u00e9trole.</p>"
