Mr. Speaker, once again the question indicates the ignorance of the third party. If we have objects of art that are worth seeing, I think we will find a place to put them so that Canadians can benefit.
Members of the third party really thrive on misinformation. For instance, the same member mentioned that the annual value of certified cultural property is approximately $60 million. That was the figure he cited. What he did not tell Canadians is that the results in foregone revenue are approximately $25 million to $30 million annually.
Having said that and since we know the Reform Party never tells the whole story, it is the position of this government that we do not like to see a situation where flaws in the tax act cause us to lose precious works of art.
Notwithstanding the fact that members of the third party feel that natural justice should be tossed out the window, I think even with the limitations that the members of the third party have shown themselves to have today, I believe Canadians will agree with me that we do not want headlines such as: "Canada loses art donation due to tax rule hang-up". I think most Canadians would not want to see situations like that occur because of a housekeeping matter, because of a right that was lost as an oversight, even if members of the third party do not believe in natural justice.
