Mr. Speaker, every time the government talks about fairness, Canadians start reaching for their wallets.
On income trusts, the government sells this sector off to foreigners: a dishonest and incompetent policy. On interest deductibility, the government makes it impossible for Canadians to compete with foreigners: a deceitful and incompetent policy. On withholding tax, the government makes it easier for foreigners to buy Canadian companies: an incompetent policy.
Can we imagine three more incompetent, deceitful policies than these, which knee-cap Canadian companies and hang a huge for sale sign on Canada?
