Mr. Speaker, a party that ran on accountability cannot account for $3.1 billion. Wow.
As well, a party that denounced an iPod tax has now introduced its own through the back door. In a bizarre twist, we learned just today that the Conservatives have long planned on making this tax retroactive, demanding that retailers pay back-taxes on all the iPods they have sold in the past, and even on some TVs. Obviously, retailers are simply stunned.
Why did the Conservatives not even give industry a warning that these changes were coming?
