Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a couple of questions related to one of the things on companies. I shouldn't say “companies”, because Mr. Martin made a good point that companies are not human beings. They are not entities that speak or talk back to us.
The point is that a lot of representatives from larger companies ask why the government should care about double-dipping, because it doesn't have an impact on them anyways. As long as they're receiving the money and as long as they're receiving tax revenue from the multinational company, why should you really care?
Why should the Government and Canadians be concerned about what some other country may or may not offer with respect to a tax loophole? I say “loophole”, but I mean it in the very gentlest wording.
