Madam Speaker, the only way it has not been ignored is that the government made a few minor changes. However most of the changes ignored the feeling of the committee that this tax benefit was not to be made more restrictive, and that form T2201 was already too restrictive, too prohibitive, too complicated and too hard to follow through on. We asked for a review of the whole thing.
Such minor changes, as what the government has so far proposed, are basically in no way a review of the whole situation. We asked that the government go back and review the original intent of the legislation. If we were to go back to the days when this was instituted during World War II, we would probably find out that it was for more than just keeping people alive. Although we have asked the government to do it, that is the way it is done but it is done outside the House.
