This is an issue that we also addressed in our brief. Mr. Paradis has just touched on what we might call new realities. For our part, we did not understand the government's position not to tax Netflix, while other Canadian companies have to pay these taxes. Netflix is not an SME. It is able to pay its taxes. Fundamentally, tax fairness is a democratic issue.
There is also the question of new realities and the fact that we are depriving ourselves of a huge amount of money that ends up in tax havens. We raised some points in our brief. We believe that the federal government is capable of taking action. Some measures, which are within reach, would mean that these considerable sums would go to public services and social programs. This would ensure the well-being of Canadians, but also economic development, as mentioned earlier.
We consider it essential to review the tax system to ensure that it is fair and that we can get the income where it is, but also to be able to face new realities, particularly that of e-commerce.
