Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my hon. colleague for his speech.
I would like him to clarify his position following the question put by the hon. member for Hochelaga—Maisonneuve as to whether or not it is legal to take back tax points that were handed or were to be handed to the provinces and how our tax dollars are spent. Under the agreement reached at the time, it was intended to be used on a temporary basis, and like a right to use, any temporary measure does not affect the property right.
Could the member explain to me and to our fellow citizens if going back to tax points is legal or not, and does it have to be requested?
