Mr. Speaker, this report is extremely critical of an officer of this House. It was not the officer, it was not the auditor general, who waived the $500 million in tax revenue. It was the Department of National Revenue. It was not the auditor general who approved a tax waiver of that magnitude with no documentation in the files whatsoever. It was his duty to report these facts to the House.
Clearly this government favours the rich and taxes the poor.
My question is for the Minister of Finance. Will the government act today to close this loophole that has been wide open for several months and stop it right now?
