Mr. Speaker, Canadians know that unpaid taxes hurt all honest workers and taxpayers. The Auditor General was clear: we are collectively missing out on billions of dollars in unpaid taxes.
To combat this problem, our government has taken strong action to improve the integrity of the tax system. Last year, $40 billion in debt was recovered.
The hon. member for Jeanne-Le Ber can attest to the effectiveness of these measures. That member is teaming up with the Leader of the Opposition to impose a $21-billion carbon tax. How hypocritical.
Our government is disappointed in the NDP's attitude. We have a message for them. Before imposing new taxes, they should start by paying their own.
