Mr. Speaker, that was exactly what I was talking about. How can the parliamentary secretary talk about a fair budget when we know that the only additional effort being required of banks and financial institutions is a temporary tax of some $100 million staggered over two years, although the combined profits of the six biggest banks were $4.3 billion last year alone? When is the government going to impose a real minimum tax on the earnings of profitable large corporations?
In the House of Commons on March 3rd, 1995. See this statement in context.
