Mr. Rajotte, we'd have a lot tougher time arguing if it applied to everybody, but the fact that it doesn't makes us very suspicious about the intent of the legislation and the purpose of the legislation.
I don't think the Income Tax Act is the vehicle to be regulating and overseeing the affairs of us or anyone else, but I want to keep on my point.
Other than the fact that we are called unions, we are private organizations owned by our members, who happen to get a tax benefit for their contributions. They have a right to make their own determinations and they don't have to be scrutinized by anyone else. I don't think the CFIB or my friend here, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, should be scrutinized by anybody but the people who make contributions to their organizations. It's a fundamental principle, and if you go down that road, how far down the road do you go?
As Mr. Blakely said, you've given $13 billion of tax concessions to business and you haven't created very many jobs. Should you scrutinize that?
