Mr. Speaker, the minister likes to ask questions but he does not like to answer questions.
It does not look like we are going to have a free vote on this. The minister is telling Canadians he is going to refer it to committee. How can Canadians believe there will be even an ounce of sincerity to address this issue when the finance minister at the same time is sending high priced government lawyers to the United Nations to defend the very same tax discrimination in the current system? How can he tell the committee there is an issue but tell the UN tomorrow that there is no issue?
