Mr. Speaker, we are not arguing whether this is an anomaly or an inequity. The issue is that it is acknowledged by the finance minister that it is an inequity, an anomaly.
If the member were listening, and I know he was listening to everything the minister was saying, he would have heard the finance minister's answer in the House today that it was being referred to the finance committee. It is an issue that has been circulating in this caucus a great deal. I do not see that the finance minister has been anything other than straightforward with the House in terms of addressing that issue.
