Mr. Speaker, I would like to preface my comments by saying that I also heard the comments from the Liberal member directed at the NDP member from Winnipeg and found them to be exceptionally disrespectful and really uncalled for. They have no place in the House.
The Liberal finance critic, the member for Markham—Unionville, said that the government's policy is stupid. I would like her to comment on his comment that he made on Bay Street a couple of weeks ago when he said that we support the agriculture industry, that we subsidize farmers, so why should we not subsidize corporations, why should we not be doing this.
The other day the hon. member for Markham—Unionville saw that the Canada Revenue Agency gave a specific example of double-dipping where it went to court with a Canadian corporation and lost because this tax loophole exists.
Does the hon. parliamentary secretary think that comparing double-dipping to subsidizing agriculture in this country, an industry that was decimated under the Liberal government, indicates that that member has any understanding of the problem whatsoever?
