Mr. Speaker, we intend to proceed in the usual way. I repeat what I said when the leader of the opposition asked me a similar question. I said, and I quote: "If there is the slightest risk the Canadian government will not be paid its fair share of taxes, we will require a lot more than a notice of waiver. We will require a bond, a debenture, a valid security for ensuring that the taxes will be paid".
In the House of Commons on November 5th, 1996. See this statement in context.
