Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Revenue.
Yesterday, some 1,400 angry taxpayers gathered at Place des Arts to denounce Revenue Canada's decision to make them pay back retroactively, and with interest, investments made in good faith and claimed as a scientific research and experimental development tax credit. Revenue Canada's decision affects 15,000 Quebecers and could bankrupt approximately half of them.
Does the Minister of National Revenue undertake to make a decision before the end of this session, bearing in mind that, while he and his officials are reviewing the case, thousands of taxpayers in Quebec are facing the prospect of bankruptcy?
