Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance.
In yesterday's budget, the government talked from both sides of its mouth. It has the nerve to talk about stimulating job creation while being extremely harsh on workers' venture capital funds, a favoured job creation tool in Quebec. The Fonds de solidarité de la FTQ alone is responsible for the creation of 40,000 jobs over the last few years, a good number of which in the regions.
How can the government justify attacking a tax haven which benefits mostly the middle class, instead of reducing the number of tax havens available to major corporations and the rich?
