Mr. Speaker, the hon. member must realize that the federal taxation system bears a great resemblance to the provincial tax systems, including that of the province of Quebec. I would be greatly interested to learn how my counterpart, Mr. Landry, reacted to the previous Bloc Quebecois report. I saw no public comments.
As for myself, I can state that it was the federal government which abolished the lifetime $100,000 capital gains exemption. It was the federal government which broadened the minimum replacement tax base. It was the federal government which did away with the tax advantages offered by the use of trusts. I could go on and list many more. We have made a good deal of progress in three years.
