Mr. Speaker, what in fact happened is that there was a tax treaty that had been signed with the United States. As a result of the actions of a number of the members on this side of the House who brought this matter to the government's attention, we in fact renegotiated the agreement with the United States saving those Canadians an enormous amount of U.S. tax.
In the House of Commons on March 9th, 1999. See this statement in context.
