Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I need to understand. I will vote in favour of this motion because I need to gain a better understanding of what happened exactly.
There is a Canada Revenue Agency Tax Centre in my riding. A very large number of people who work there often tell me that they themselves wonder about certain inequities that sometimes seem to crop up when processing the tax returns of individuals and sometimes also those of businesses.
Without breaching the principle of confidentiality, these people tell me that they are sometimes aware of situations that they have trouble understanding. I am convinced that people have experienced the same situation: they bought shares, they had to pay capital gains tax and they did not get a tax remission like the one that they received. I feel that this is unfair. And if it is not, we must at least hear the proposed witnesses to understand the merits of this situation before judging it. I think that we absolutely have to vote in favour of the motion in order to properly grasp the situation.
Thank you.
