Mr. Speaker, that of course is a glaring omission in the report. There should have been some recommendation as to how this government should look at tax reform for small business but that was not our mandate.
I am confident that over the next 60 days this House of Commons will look at comprehensive tax reform in a very serious way. We are all getting signals that defending the status quo is no longer the right option or the right path to take.
The Reform opposition has the view which I happen to share that it is time the country had a single tax system, 20 per cent across the board. Small business would not pay anything on the first $50,000 which would go to reduce paper burden and a lot of other things.
I hope we can have that debate because I think the whole country is ready for it. However that was not the mandate of the committee, but stand by.
