Mr. Speaker, the auditor general's report, which was tabled today, demonstrates the government's incompetence in tax collection that is causing Canadian taxpayers to lose faith in the system.
Once again this government is focusing on the little taxpayer and squeezing him until he hurts, but we find that not one tobacco company has been audited in the last five years.
Revenue Canada knows that auditing large tobacco companies is an easy and efficient way to collect millions of dollars, yet it turns a blind eye to them while collecting every penny from ordinary Canadians.
My question for the Minister of National Revenue is why?
