Mr. Speaker, I would be very proud to vote for the motion that supports so well the work of our committee. It also supports Parliament. Parliament works well when it allows a committee to come together and put forward some solutions but we expected a better response from our government than the one we received in August.
When the HRDC committee meets on Thursday we may well be sending the bulk of that report back to the government for a better response. I think it deserves that opportunity.
The CCRA has shown good faith in terms of putting together its advisory committee and in getting us a better form. The minister agreed to use last year's form because the community was still not happy with the new form. I think we have seen some progress from the revenue agency.
I was disappointed in the finance department's response, but particularly the government's response when we asked for an advisory committee. The best it could do was tell us that it could avail itself in prebudget consultations. It is really not good enough in terms of what we want in a democracy between elections.
