Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have only one question. Again, it's back to the discussion on tax loopholes and how as a government, and as a society quite frankly, we eliminate tax loopholes. Mr. Howlett, that was part of your presentation. I think we're in agreement and have some common ground on that particular issue.
In the economic action plan 2013, we closed 75 tax loopholes. That's a tremendous number. I have to agree that there are, unfortunately, more out there to close. We're expecting that will raise somewhere in the neighbourhood of $2.5 billion in 2013-214 and then another similar amount, $2.5 billion or $2.6 billion in 2015-216. That's not exactly chump change.
In the search for some common ground I would hope that you're supportive of closing those loopholes and that the government's action in relation to that is the correct action. I'm not disagreeing that we can't do more.
