Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his presentation.
As with any new concept such as the one he presented and which is also before the Americans, the hon. member may be aware that the Germans looked at the flat tax. I ask the hon. member to enlarge on this. The burden of proof is to see who is going be gaining on this. That is the big question.
Even in the elections taking place in the United States where it is getting a lot of play, the question that constantly arises and is not answered is "who wins and who loses?" There is no doubt it is simple, we all win in that way, but it does not look that it is going to be as fair as they say it is. I wonder if the hon. member had some adjustments to the one that Mr. Forbes is presenting in the United States. Is that a fair comment?
It is under attack for the non-disclosure of who wins and who loses. I ask the hon. member if he could enlighten us on his approach.
