Thank you, Chair.
The preponderance of the evidence before the committee was in favour of the plan I announced on October 31, which is about tax fairness. I think the Liberal Party, including Mr. McCallum, have forgotten that. You'll see the recurring theme of tax fairness reflected in the budget I do as well. That is, that individuals in Canada should not be asked to assume the corporate tax burden, and that among corporations, regardless of corporate structure, whether it's an income trust structure or a corporate structure, everybody should bear their fair share of the tax burden. That's tax fairness.
There is leakage on this, all right. There's leakage of credibility by the Liberal Party of Canada, and by you. You said on November 5, 2006, on national television, that the government did absolutely the right thing. Since then, I guess you've had some kind of conversion by lobbyists from various parts of the country, and you've changed your mind. So now we have three Liberal plans--just as we had three budgets from the Liberals in 2005. Three seems to be the lucky number--
