Mr. Speaker, first of all I thank my hon. colleague for his initiative. I have huge respect for him. He knows that, because he sits with us on the Standing Committee on Finance, and he always makes interesting arguments in the House.
However, I have to disagree with him on this occasion, because the greatest injustice that could be done today would be to promote tax avoidance in any way.
Given the figures he has just put forward, I would like my colleague on the other side of the House to explain how he arrived at an amount of $10 million or $15 million, when Finance Canada has estimated the opportunities for tax evasion in the first and subsequent years at over $800 million.
