First of all, Mr. Speaker, when the same question was asked of me last week by the same member, I told him that three committee members, including the chair, are academics with no connections with any corporations, or major multinationals.
Having said this, I am convinced that the hon. member will realize that, if what we want is to look at how to close up tax loopholes or the ways companies wrongly get around job creation or foreign investment requirements, it is worthwhile to consult precisely those who are knowledgeable about such loopholes, not people who know absolutely nothing about them.
