Mr. Speaker, after Netflix was allowed to bypass our tax laws, the Canada Revenue Agency issued a new interpretation that would tax employee discounts, affecting small retail businesses everywhere.
You heard right. The Minister of National Revenue would rather keep chasing after middle-class employees than the CEOs of major corporations who hide their income in tax havens. It is absolutely shameful.
How can she allow a giant like Netflix not to pay taxes, while employee discounts will be taxed?
The minister said that she was not aware. Come on. Who is in charge of the Canada Revenue Agency? Is it the minister?
When will she take responsibility on this issue?
