Mr. Speaker, regarding the whole issue of interest deductibility, what we have going on in Canada is total confusion. In the budget document the Minister of Finance stated that interest would not be deducted in foreign operations. Every day since then he has issued a new statement. It would be interpreted narrowly, he would talk about two years, three years, 10 years. He is now talking about double-dipping, and now they are introducing this concept of tax fairness.
It is crazy. I just came from a meeting of the finance committee. There are five experts who are shaking their heads. We need some sanity in the system.
When will the minister bring some sanity to the system? Right now all we have is uncertainty?
