Mr. Speaker, I am wondering whether the hon. member for La Prairie is sure of his facts because of the nature of the governments in the EU. Some of them are federal, some of them are unitary and some of them have taxation at the municipal level. Is he sure of his facts that they are all rolled up into one total? It seems to me from my studies that it was not the case.
In the House of Commons on March 19th, 1996. See this statement in context.
