How about the boating sector? How about the aerospace industry? How about the car sector? They're all screaming foul because of how this government is implementing tax legislation.
It's not even the tax itself. It's how it's being implemented and the failure to do proper economic impact assessments for each industry before taxation is applied. We had the witnesses here at our committee, officials from the Department of Finance and other departments of government. They admitted that no economic impact assessment had been done for these taxes. That's a big fail, Mr. Chair. You should not be surprised that we are wanting to do this in a proper way. We want the time to do it properly.
The parliamentary secretary hasn't come forward with a realistic plan to properly do a review of this bill. If Mr. Beech can come forward with an accommodation that works for all parties at this table, we will look at it seriously and with good faith—that I can assure him, as the shadow minister for finance. We will look at it in good faith. He can't keep coming forward simply acting as a shield for the government, which wants to ram this legislation through. That's unacceptable.
