Mr. Speaker, we just learned this morning that Imperial Oil, an oil company making huge profits, will receive a $843 million tax refund from the federal government.
My question is for the Minister of Finance. While the minister is asking all Canadians to tighten their belts, is asking the people most in need to forego $7 billion through his cuts in social programs, including $500 million to Quebec students, and is asking the unemployed to cough up $5 million in premiums each year, is it normal and morally acceptable that a company that will make $514 million in profits this year should benefit from such generosity on the part of Revenue Canada?
