I am trying to understand the reasoning on this.
Whether we like it or not, we are talking about a measure that would directly affect the tax system. This measure would directly affect the country's finances. It would not only affect employment and human resources. It will directly affect finances. It is our responsibility to study it from a fiscal perspective and that is what is being proposed.
I hope that the government members will agree that our committee has the responsibility, as the steward of Canadian finances and of what is done with them, to study this matter in light of our expertise and of our past experience as well.
