Madam Speaker, one other thing my colleague from Elk Island did not mention is the impact of the underground economy on our tax system. Many people in the country feel our tax system is so unfair that they actually hide income. They put it under the table. That is part of this fair 17% solution which very few of my colleagues across the way seem to understand. If people feel the tax system is fair, they are far less likely to go through the process of hiding their income. Could my colleague comment on that?
