Mr. Speaker, I will simply say that the hon. member's reaction shows that the government is on the right track. As for the matter he raised, to the effect that some company did not pay any tax last year or the year before, I will not go into the specifics of the case, but one must be able to do some basic calculation. When a company makes profits, the government is there to tax it. However, when a company does not make profits, the government simply cannot tax it. This is very simple and this is what the government has done. I want to point out to the hon. member that 500,000 jobs were created since our government took office. These 500,000 jobs were created thanks to the tax measures taken by our government.
