Mr. Chair, the Standing Committee on Finance decided to recommend to the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities to undertake studies and steps dealing with that issue. Like you, I was waiting for news from this committee as to its intentions. I think we now know that the members of this committee are ready to review the issue. It remains to be seen if it is done in depth or as an overview.
In light of the prebudget issues regarding housing and the price of housing in Canada, tax evasion, which we have discussed and will surely also discuss in other future studies, I am inclined not to support the idea of carrying out a study on such a broad topic. In addition, I don't think it is appropriate for this committee to take this approach and undertake such a study. As a result, I will be voting against the motion.
