Mr. Speaker, there must be no more attempts to pull the wool over people's eyes. The February 1995 budget contains no measure for avoiding such cases, for stopping Canadian capital from being siphoned off to the U.S., nothing. As for referring the matter to the finance committee, that would require the committee to meet. We have been calling for that for two months now, and there have been no serious meetings yet to review the taxation system.
Since it is obvious that senior finance officials have intervened, and in highly dubious circumstances, does the minister acknowledge that it is his duty to cast light on the circumstances surrounding a decision which will mean the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the federal government and to Canadians?
