Madam Speaker, my question pertains to privatization. In Saskatchewan where I come from we have experienced privatization in spades. Every time something was privatized it resulted in larger debt for taxpayers, fewer jobs for people living in that province and the jobs that were left were lower paying jobs. It also resulted in reduced services, higher costs for those services and in many cases reduced services with a higher cost attached. Wherever you go in Saskatchewan when people say we are going to privatize something, it is like a four letter word. People spit that word out. Every single time something has been privatized they have screwed up the service, the utility or the product they have been marketing.
Can the member opposite explain to Saskatchewan people how privatization of our taxation collection system is going to be any better for them? Given the bad vibes and the bad results of privatization in Saskatchewan, and the member telling us that they will have all this confidential information for Canadians, what assurances can he give us that this privatization will not be like all the others that have happened in Saskatchewan and that there will be some sense of security for those people filing their income taxes, paying their taxes?
