Madam Speaker, I would first like to thank my hon. colleague for his brilliant presentation. I think he made a very good point that the people pay when big business does not.
I would just like him to say something more about the fact that in 2002 the banks did not pay their fair share to the provincial or federal governments. We are talking about $2.1 billion. I would ask the hon. member to tell us more about the fact that, through these tax conventions with Barbados alone, the banks have not paid, or were able to avoid paying, $2.1 billion in taxes.
