Mr. Chair, I'm quite disappointed by the response from Mr. Rodriguez. Hopefully, he's taking his bill seriously. We have some serious concerns with Bill C-288. That's why we've been opposing it to this point.
But it's a legitimate question. I'm sure he is not intending this as a meaningless bill. That is a legitimate question--what is his intent?--and this clause deals with that. Is part of this plan with Bill C-288 to provide increased taxation to support his plan?
