Mr. Speaker, CARP does not applaud the fiasco of the income trusts.
This morning the finance minister announced that his ill-conceived income trust legislation will be a part of his upcoming budget. I want to point out that the minister's first official budget announcement was a $25 billion slam on the pockets of ordinary Canadians. MPs deserve a clear vote on this so they can effectively represent those who lost so much money.
Will the minister at least have the courage to table this in stand-alone legislation?
