Maybe she could explain to the House who the typical shareholders of a company are. They are perhaps pensioners regular shareholders, people saving for their retirement or people having shares in their registered education savings plans. Maybe she could explain the impact of raising corporate taxes on those companies' abilities to actually have a return on that investment.</p>",

La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait peut-\u00eatre dire \u00e0 la Chambre qui sont habituellement les actionnaires d'une soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Ces actionnaires sont peut-\u00eatre des retrait\u00e9s, des gens qui ont \u00e9conomis\u00e9 pour leur retraite ou des gens qui ont des actions dans leur r\u00e9gime enregistr\u00e9 d'\u00e9pargne-\u00e9tudes. Elle pourrait peut-\u00eatre dire quelles sont les r\u00e9percussions des hausses du taux d'imposition des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s sur la capacit\u00e9 des entreprises d'avoir un rendement sur leur investissement.</p>"
