Well, we already do that in this country. For sure we already tax property.
I would suggest that it would make more sense to us to shift to taxing high-value properties more so we cut taxes to earnings for low- and middle-income earners.

I'm so excited. I have a quick one for Dr. Kershaw.
I'm very interested in the tax announced in the budget, the non-resident, non-Canadian vacant house tax.
I would like your take on that.

It's a valuable tool. It's one minor tool in the tool box. Will it be sufficient? No. Do we need to go considerably further to address some of the broader root causes? Absolutely yes.

There are a myriad of barriers. I think they're some of the most important barriers this country has to deal with.
One of the fundamental changes that I believe would really address our economic well-being is a proper land title system, so that we can trade among ourselves. We have created about $170 billion worth of a credit gap.
The other thing that could be done is getting the federal and provincial governments to share the tax revenues they collect on reserve lands right now. According to our statistics, through real property tax, first nations—about 110 across the country—are collecting $110 million. The federal and provincial governments, for the same lands, are collecting $700 million. That imbalance should be fixed.
