While we're on the topic of future business, there is something related to the tax issue, but I think it's more positive and maybe even more constructive as a topic within the area of taxation.
I move that the committee conduct a study on tax reform in Canada. Most tax changes that occur in Canada--and this isn't part of my motion, but just a discussion--seem to be around politics and ideology. I don't think any of us understands as much as we ought to understand about some of the changes that could occur in terms of creating growth and opportunity.
We haven't had real tax reform or a significant study of taxation in Canada since 1971 with the Carter commission. Changes have occurred in the Canadian economy between 1971 and today, and changes in the global economy, so I move that the committee conduct a study of Canada's tax system in order to propose reforms to the system. We can work on the wording, but that's broadly what I would propose.
