Mr. Speaker, if both opposition parties have said that they support the bill and have supported the bill, one can assume they have read the bill and they are fine with the bill.
Let me just quote a tax partner from KPMG, Paul Hickey. He said:
[I] ask Parliament to act decisively and to pass Bill C-48 to essentially clean the slate of this old pending legislation and to finally bring the Income Tax Act up to date. Taxpayers could then move on and focus on running their business, and the CRA could carry on administering and collecting tax in a more stable system.
I believe this is what all Canadians want. It is obviously what the professionals are asking for. I urge the opposition members to support the bill.
