Mr. Speaker, I listened with a great deal of interest to what my colleague across the House had to say. I hope he understands that under the CCRA rules the tax credit requires people to produce a receipt. It is not a matter of an honour system. That is well lined up with the platforms and policies of the Canadian Alliance. Erring on the side of compassion is something that members of our party do at all times.
In light of what the member has just recently said, and having listened to us now for quite a long time and having heard what we had to say on this particular issue, is the member now aware that he should not possibly have believed what his spin doctors in own party were saying about the Canadian Alliance because it was not factual?
