Yes, please, Mr. Chair.
Colleagues, notice was provided for this previously. The government has opened the door to publicly disclosing which companies or corporations take advantage of the investment tax credits. There's really no reason that we should be limiting transparency to investment tax credits. Any company that receives a tax preference from the Government of Canada, whether that's a tax credit, deduction or write-off, should be transparent if it's a corporation.
That was the genesis for this amendment. I respect that it is a much broader definition of what is proposed, but that was the reason behind the amendment.
