Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the support of colleagues to move this to the floor.
You'll also note that the current legislation says “may” and not “shall”. That decision is left to the discretion of the minister, but I believe we should, in the interest of transparency, provide taxpayers with additional information when corporations have received tax preferences.
During the wage subsidy, we listed the corporations that had taken advantage of the wage subsidy. This is just good, transparent practice for those corporations that receive tax credits or deductions. I think, in the future, there will be good legislation to consider all preferences by the government, whether that's a write-off, a tax credit or a deduction. At least in this instance, we can take the same spirit of transparency with the investment tax credits and put it to other examples, as long as it's a corporate entity.
