Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister who demands such high ethical standards is the sponsor of Bill C-28, allowing foreign subsidiaries of Canadian shipping companies to avoid paying Canadian income tax. This legislation, coupled with the tax treaty with Barbados, has made it possible for CSL International to avoid paying a minimum of $100 million in taxes.
Since this bill did so well by CSL International, and since he himself sponsored it, will the Prime Minister admit that this is a case of flagrant conflict of interest?
