Mr. Speaker, it is not about health and stopping tobacco; it is about pork politics. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has to stand in the House today and explain how she had a tax break directed at only one federal riding, hers. That is quite an accomplishment. Some of us would like to know how she did it.
The only answer is that the minister is scared for her re-election efforts and padded her election war chest with a handy, too good to be true tax cut. She will remind people of that every day, every chance she gets.
How do ordinary Canadians benefit from this tax break?
