Mr. Speaker, let us talk about privilege. It pays to be part of the Liberal leader's inner circle.
When the hon. member for Papineau told his friend, Stephen Bronfman, that he wanted to become leader of his party, the response was, “Anything I can do to help”. In the same interview, he said that the goal was to raise a pile of money to help the Liberal leader become the next prime minister. That was very telling. It seems that tax fairness does not apply to those who helped the Liberal leader become prime minister.
Why is the Prime Minister going after farmers and the real job creators and refusing to do anything about tax avoidance in his circle of close friends?
