Mr. Speaker, Earl Jones' victims had the unpleasant surprise of being required by Revenue Canada to pay tax on profits they have never received.

But it is precisely the Income Tax Act that is problematic.
Will the Minister of National Revenue change the law to allow these victims to deduct the losses resulting from these fraudsters' schemes?
