Madam Speaker, one of the most galling things to me is that of the 1,700 expatriate companies in Canada that avoid paying their fair share of taxes in Canada, many of them are also eligible for and qualify for government contracts. In other words, the federal government patronizes these unpatriotic companies that seek to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
Would my colleague from the Bloc agree with me that no Canadian company that takes steps to avoid paying their taxes in Canada should ever be given a public works contract, a supply contract or any contract from the federal government until they pay their fair share of taxes in this country?
